Among the fundamental themes, which became the subjects of the discussions and were influenced by this {\quotedblbase}come back{\textquotedblleft} to Aristotelian ethics, is also the problem of a good life. One stream of moral philosophy brings the problem of a good life together with the problem of human character. The other one focuses on the problems concerning the plurality of values and related problems of the role of reason in good life, of practical rationality, on the role of emotions and contingency in human life. The streams share a certain criticism of contemporary prevailing moral theories (such as utilitarianism and Kantian conceptions), whereby they either completely dismiss them, or critically accept some of their ideas. The first question of the paper is: In what sense can the Aristotelian ethics be inspiring for our contemporaries?}, author = {Palovi{\v c}ov{\'a}, Zuzana} }
