Keywords: the good life; alternative; sociology of morality; anthropology of morality
Summary/Abstract: The article serves as an introduction to the thematic section devoted to the alternative visions of the good life. It aims to indicate the place and role of this concept in the processes that characterize modern societies. The article particularly emphasizes the susceptibility of the concept of the good life to appropriation and manipulative uses by the market and the state, as well as the cultural meaning of seeking alternatives to the uses that limit social imagination. In addition, the text provides a review of the selected theoretical frameworks that refer to „the good life” in academic literature. This review allows to place the articles presented in the thematic section in the context of the increased interest in values and morality in sociology and anthropology.
