| 词汇 | eudaemonia |
| 词源 | eudaemonia. The Eudaemonic Pie, a recent book by Thomas A. Bass, brings this rare but useful word to mind. It means, ac- cording to one dictionary definition, “a state of felicity or bliss obtained by a life lived in accordance with reason,” and was ap- parently coined by Aristotle in that sense, deriving from the Greek word for happiness. Eudaemonia also means, quite sim- ply, plain old uncomplicated “happiness.” |
