Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 'Philosophers have an infuriating habit of analysing questions rather than answering them', writes Terry Eagleton, who, in these pages, asks the most important question any of us ever ask, and attempts to answer it. So what is the meaning of life? In this witty, spirited, and stimulating inquiry, E…agleton shows how centuries of thinkers - from Shakespeare and Schopenhauer to Marx, Sartre and Beckett - have tackled the question. Refusing to settle for the bland and boring, Eagleton reveals with a mixture of humour and intellectual rigour how the question has become particularly problematic in modern times. Instead of addressing it head-on, we take refuge from the feelings of 'meaninglessness' in our lives by filling them with a multitude of different things: from football and sex, to New Age religions and fundamentalism. 'Many of the readers of this book are likely to be as sceptical of the phrase "the meaning of life" as they are of Santa Claus', he writes. But Eagleton contends that in a world where we need to find common meanings, it is important that we set about answering the question of all questions; and, in conclusion, he suggests his own answer. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. We have all wondered about the meaning of life. But is there an answer? And do we even really know what we're asking? Terry Eagleton takes a stimulating and quirky look at this most compelling of questions: at the answers explored in philosophy and literature; at the crisis of meaning in modern tim…es; and suggests his own solution to how we might rediscover meaning in our lives. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

paperback. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that e…ncompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

In den WarenkorbVellum. Zustand: Good. First edition. A delightful volume comprising five satirical poems with Cruikshank's illustrations. Including the first separate edition of Coleridge and Southey's 'Devil's Walk'. Bound together are five satirical and comical poems from the likes Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Robert Southey (under the pseudo…nym Professor Porson), William Thomas Moncrieff, H. W. Montagu, and John Taylor. All but Taylor's are first editions. Illustrated by eminent British caricaturist George Crukshank, perhaps best known for his internationally acclaimed book illustrations for Charles Dickens.

It was first published in 1799 by Coleridge and expanded by Southey in 1827. The poem was imitated by many over the years, notably by Shelley (The Devil's Walk, 1812) and Byron (The Devil's Drive, 1813). Minor poet H. W. Montagu provides an introduction and notes. Collated, complete. The Real Devil's Walk (Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Robert Southey) - Frontispiece, six plates and numerous vignettes. A continuation of the previous, this time alluding to the use of a pseudonym with "Not by Professor Porson" to the title page. Collated, complete. The March of Intellect (W. T. Moncrieff) - A very scarce first edition, commenting on the social disruption and political unrest of England at the time, partly a result of mechanization. Frontispiece and six plates. Collated, complete. Monsieur Mallet: or, My Daughter's Letter. A Random Record (H. W. Montagu) - Frontispiece and five plates. Collated, complete. Monsieur Tonson (John Taylor) - The second edition. First published in 1808, this poem narrates a Mr Tom King continuously knocking on the door of a Frenchman to ask if a Mr Thompson lives there, to which the Frenchman replies that "No 'Monsieur Tonson'" lives there.
