“A momentous transformation in the Western philosophical tradition took place when ‘the good life’ was no longer viewed as the life of doing ‘just and noble deeds,’ as it was for Aristotle, or as the life of Christian virtue and devotion, as it was for St. Augustine, but rather, when the good life became defined as the life of individual satisfaction and consumption.” --- Seyla Benhabib
