Description
The Good Enough Life explores what life could and should be through a unique blend of philosophical inquiry and ethnographic study. Daniel Miller examines how people in a small Irish town have created community as a deliberate social project, providing the foundation for a more fulfilling life.
By juxtaposing everyday lives with discussions of similar topics by influential philosophers from Western tradition, Miller reveals the value of respecting ordinary modest achievements. This book shows how anthropology and philosophy can complement each other in an enquiry into what we might accomplish in our lives.
The result is a thought-provoking exploration of community, freedom, inequality, and the purpose of life, offering insights into creating a more fulfilling existence.
