Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Einband leicht berieben, Seiten leicht angegilbt / binding slightly rubbed, pages slightly yellowed. - Meditations for the Humanist is a generous, insightful, wide-ranging, magnanimous inquiry into the philosophical and ethical questions that bear most strongly on the human condition. Containing nearly fifty commentaries on topics ranging from love, perseverance, revenge, racism, religion, history, loyalty, health, and leisure, Meditations for the Humanist does not offer definitive statements but rather prompts to reflection. Each piece can be read alone and each is characterized by brevity, wit, and a liveliness of mind that recalls the best of Montaigne and Swift. Graylings own perspective on these subjects is broadened and deepened by liberal quotations from Sophocles and Shakespeare to Byron, Twain, Proust, Simone de Beauvoir, Martin Luther King, Jr., and many others. / Contents Introduction vii PART I Virtues and Attributes Moralising Tolerance Mercy Civility Compromise Fear Courage Defeat Sorrow Death Hope Perseverance Prudence Frankness Lying Perjury Betrayal Loyalty Blame Punishment Delusion Love Happiness PART II Foes and Fallacies Nationalism Racism Speciesism Hate Revenge Intemperance Depression Christianity Sin Repentance Faith Miracles Prophecy Virginity Paganism Blasphemy Obscenity Poverty Capitalism PART III Amenities and Goods Reason Education Excellence Ambition Acting Art Health Leisure Peace Reading Memory History Leadership Travel Privacy Family Age Gifts Trifles.
