Summary/Abstract: What is necessary for a good life? Does the justice or the personal happiness prove to be more important for a good life? Could an unjust person be happy, and a righteous person unhappy? What is justice in the first place, and what does happiness consist of? In his book Platon i Kant: saveti za dobar život [Plato and Kant: Advice for a Good Life], Ivan Vuković intends to provide the answer to these questions in a way that Plato and Kant would have given and also to demonstrate how the two philosophers’ answers could be turned into advice for a good life offered to the readers in today’s world. The result of the comparison between Plato’s and Kant’s teachings on ethics is presented in this book in the form of recommendations leading to the proper understanding of certain aspects and values of the life itself, as well as to the comprehension of how one is supposed to act in accordance with them.
