The Uses of Pessimism

Bag om The Uses of Pessimism

This short book by Roger Scruton argues that optimism in its various forms has caused much of the human suffering and man-made catastrophes in human history, and that what our happiness truly requires is a sensible, measured pessimism -- pessimism in the sense of realism about the capacities and limits of human beings.
