The Fragility of Goodness: Luck and Ethics in Greek Tragedy and Philosophy
Nussbaum, Martha C. (University of Chicago)
This book is a study of ancient views about 'moral luck'. It examines the fundamental ethical problem that many of the valued constituents of a well-lived life are vulnerable to factors outside a person's control, and asks how this affects our appraisal of persons and their lives.
