"Ancient Views on the Quality of Life" is a well-researched monograph that examines the contributions of significant ancient philosophers to today's understanding of quality of life. Written by Alex C. Michalos, the work offers a contemporary perspective on the philosophical and scientific considerations formulated between 600 and 300 BC. Through the analysis of these early texts, it provides deep insights into the fundamental questions of human well-being and quality of life. The author highlights how these ancient reflections relate to current challenges and questions, such as: "What is a good life?" and "How can we assess the progress of a society?" The book demonstrates that despite temporal and cultural differences, there are remarkable similarities in human thinking about the good life.
