Abstract
In this philosophical treatise, James H. Tufts argues that the true purpose of life is not to accumulate wealth or power, but rather to strive for personal and societal improvement through the cultivation of knowledge, wisdom, and moral character. Drawing on a range of historical and contemporary sources, Tufts presents a compelling vision of the good life and challenges readers to think deeply about their own values and goals.
