Book Description
Excerpt from Three Sermons on Human Nature and a Dissertation Upon the Nature of Virtue It is not to be supposed that the contracted Spirit which Butler laments was in reality based upon a con sistent philosophy. Its most congenial literary expres sion was the Maxims Of Rochefoucauld, or perhaps the Fable of the Bees in which Mandeville maintained not without wit, that moral codes are either pernicious restraints upon human energies or artful impositions by statesmen upon the common herd. Nevertheless this fasionable cynicism did frequently profess to be founded on a philosophy - upon the philosophy Of Thomas Hobbes. Hobbes was its putative if not its real father. Hobbism is the theory which Butler attempts to meet and overthrow. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Sophie's World
Author: Jostein Gaarder
Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux
ISBN: 1466804270
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 599
Book Description
A page-turning novel that is also an exploration of the great philosophical concepts of Western thought, Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World has fired the imagination of readers all over the world, with more than twenty million copies in print. One day fourteen-year-old Sophie Amundsen comes home from school to find in her mailbox two notes, with one question on each: "Who are you?" and "Where does the world come from?" From that irresistible beginning, Sophie becomes obsessed with questions that take her far beyond what she knows of her Norwegian village. Through those letters, she enrolls in a kind of correspondence course, covering Socrates to Sartre, with a mysterious philosopher, while receiving letters addressed to another girl. Who is Hilde? And why does her mail keep turning up? To unravel this riddle, Sophie must use the philosophy she is learning—but the truth turns out to be far more complicated than she could have imagined.
