What is the meaning of the phrase "The Good Life"? When we trace its roots, we find that the nearest thing to "The Good Life" was first referred to as "a" good life. The Greek philosopher Socrates held that to live a good, meaningful, and virtuous life is the purpose of life. For him, a good life is aligned with virtue. Socrates said, "Virtue is knowledge," and he held that a good life is not only virtue but is lived by reason and moral principles.
