Is ours a good society to be alive in? Is it possible to have a good life in our time? And finally, does a good life consist of having a good time? Are happiness and \"a good life\" interchangeable? These are the questions that Mortimer Adler addresses himself to. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe heart of the book lies in its conception of the good life for man, which provides the standard for measuring a century, a society, or a culture: for upon that turns the meaning of each man's primary moral right - his right to the pursuit of happiness. The moral philosophy that Dr. Adler expounds in terms of this conception he calls \"the ethics of common sense,\" because it is as a defense and development of the common-sense answer to the question \"can I really make a good life for myself?\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mortimer J.
