Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of essays by 17th-century English philosopher and divine Owen Felltham, originally published in 1628. These meditations on topics ranging from memory and fame to music and poetry contain a wealth of wisdom and wit, displaying the author's humanist values and insightful observations on the human condition. Felltham's main aim was to improve the moral character of his readers through the exploration of ethical dilemmas, virtues, and human nature. He believed that a virtuous life led to happiness, and his writing was designed to encourage his readers to live justly and wisely. Felltham's work fits into the broader tradition of early modern moral philosophy and conduct literature, and his writing is characterized by its eloquent prose style, wide-ranging references, and timeless insights into human nature.
