Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Complete Works of William Hazlitt / 1' brings together several foundational philosophical and political writings by one of the most influential prose stylists and critics of the Romantic era. This volume includes the significant treatise 'An Essay on the Principles of Human Action', in which Hazlitt explores the psychological and metaphysical foundations of benevolence, arguing against the prevailing theories of natural selfishness. Also featured are his 'Free Thoughts on Public Affairs' and the incisive 'A Reply to Malthus', where Hazlitt applies his sharp intellect to the social and economic debates of his time.Throughout these works, Hazlitt demonstrates the keen analytical power and vigorous rhetoric that defined his career as an essayist and social commentator. From moral philosophy to scathing political critique, this collection captures the intellectual breadth of a writer who challenged contemporary orthodoxies and shaped the development of the English essay.
