There are many specifications for it. Religions also provide many blueprints for living a good life. The Greek philosophers were very interesting in what leading a good life (what they called eudaimonia) would entail.

What your refer to is on another level of Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

You have to remember that many of those old philosophers were rich or even nobles that didn't have to worry about the basic needs of life.
Only the true enlightened people are able to meditate about philosophy while their stomach is empty.
- revskill 3y agoNo, i don't think Maslow is the rule. All the needs (my above needs, not his needs) could/should be fullfilled at the same time, no need for "hiearchy". There's no such thing as "higher need" to me.
