Presentation

Why talk about the Good in present times? It seems unreasonable, naïve, and romantic in these days of isolation, sadness, and needs of all kinds; days that make it hard for us to see a way out. However, it is precisely because we live in challenging times that it becomes urgent to talk and think about the Good, its practice, its works and its power to make the human, Human. In this special issue we propose to engage in contemporary readings on the question of the Good in ancient philosophy. We go over some of the thoughts produced then and still relevant to our time. The dialogue with the ancients has become extremely necessary because of the difficulty to conceive the good life beyond the narrow limits imposed by present closed model of well-being and its promises of economic prosperity, which are increasingly distant from our daily reality, characterized by the desire for security, by fear, and by the exclusion of differences.In ancient philosophy, many ways lead to the Good. The first major dispute on the subject opposes Socrates and Plato to sophistry; then it unfolds in the clash between Aristotle and Plato. The good is also the object of desire for Plotinus and continues to be disputed by Epicureans, Stoics, Cynics and Skeptics. In ancient philosophy, the search for the good is inseparable from the question of the best way of living available to human beings, a question that must be answered in a practical way. With this special issue we want to retrieve the ancient thought on the Good with the purpose of deepening the reflection about the ways to the good life. The volume is divided into four sections. The first one addresses issues related to the conceptions of happiness and the different understandings of the notion of good, bringing us reflections on moral action. The next section discusses the nature and the knowledge of the good, articulating desire and self-sufficiency, as well as the relative or absolute character of the good. The third section considers the good from the perspective of action and its intentionality, seeking to highlight the link between the human good and the other goods. The fourth and last section presents readings, by contemporary authors, who have been influenced by the ancient problematization of the good.
