Description
We use the word “good” in many ways. We say, “That’s good”, when someone tells us a piece of news. We say, “Good for you”, to congratulate someone. We use the word “good” as an adjective for the most part. But as to the noun, the Good, we know next to nothing. George Leone attempts to rectify this by examining the nature of the Good, as derived from the early Greek philosophers, Socrates; his student, Plato; and Plato’s student, Aristotle.
George Leone has a life-long involvement with philosophy, leading to a master’s degree in philosophy and a master’s and doctorate in counseling. He has taught philosophy at two universities for a total of four years. During his 25 years of teaching in graduate counseling programs, he has found ways to incorporate philosophy into the counseling courses.
