Beskrivelse af Essays On Life, Art And Science
Essays On Life, Art And Science is a collection of insightful and thought-provoking essays written by the English author, Samuel Butler. The book is divided into three parts, each focusing on a different aspect of human experience. The first section, Life, contains essays that explore the nature of human existence, including topics such as love, death, and the meaning of life. The second section, Art, delves into the world of creativity and aesthetics, with essays on literature, music, and the visual arts. The final section, Science, examines the role of science and technology in society, with essays on topics such as evolution, astronomy, and the nature of knowledge. Throughout the book, Butler's writing is characterized by his sharp wit, keen observations, and deep insights into the human condition. This collection is a must-read for anyone interested in philosophy, literature, or science, and offers a unique perspective on the world around us.The question, therefore, on which I have undertaken to address you is, as you must all know, fatuous, if it be faced seriously. Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on. One cannot make the best of such impossibilities, and the question is doubly fatuous until we are told which of our two lives--the conscious or the unconscious--is held by the asker to be the truer life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
