The Use of Life: A Forgotten Handbook for Hedonists

0/5 ( ratings)

Time has forgotten this little book since its first publication in the mid 1600s; even its author is disputable. It is, however, a philosophical guide for finding and keeping happiness through pleasure, a hedonist's handbook.

It contains chapters on religion, grief, reputation, boredom, and other subjects as they relate to mental peace.

This edition, with a fully functional table of contents, is the first translation of 'The Use of Life' since the 1700s.

Language: English

Pages: 33
