Martha Nussbaum - Ευημερία

..
"Οι ανθρώπινες ζωές προσβάλλονται από ασθένειες.
Ένας φιλόσοφος που αξίζει να λέγεται φιλόσοφος
-όπως ένας γιατρός που αξίζει να λέγεται γιατρός-
συνεχίζει προσπαθώντας να τις γιατρέψει.
Ολόκληρη η ουσία της ιατρικής έρευνας είναι η θεραπεία.
Έτσι,ομοίως,όλη η ουσία της φιλοσοφίας είναι η ανθρώπινη ευημερία"
