Description

Bruno Giuliani proposes a simple, clear and complete introduction to philosophy in the original meaning of the word: the love of knowledge necessary for happiness. What are love, wisdom and happiness? How can philosophy make us happy? What is its nature, method and use? Such are the questions here addressed by the author as he follows the lead of Socrates, Epicurus, Spinoza and Nietzsche. A tradition of wisdom which clearly expresses what Laozi, the Buddha, Jesus and all enlightened individuals have continually taught humanity: happiness is within man’s reach. This consists of living according to Reason, in the serene happiness of Love, in harmony with Nature and the meaning of Life. The Meaning of Life Read extract (page 131) “Let no one be slow to seek wisdom when he is young nor weary in the search of it when he has grown old. For no age is too early or too late for the health of the soul. And to say that the season for studying philosophy has not yet come, or that it is past and gone, is like saying that the season for happiness is not yet or that it is now no more.” Epicurus
