Description
Happiness and Contemplation by Josef Pieper explores the nature of human happiness and the meaning of life. Drawing on traditional wisdom from ancient Greece, Plato, Aristotle, the New Testament, Augustine, and Thomas Aquinas, Pieper examines the concept of contemplation and its significance in understanding our pursuit of happiness.
This profound inquiry considers the goal of life and the role of contemplation in achieving a state of perfect bliss. By examining the wisdom of the past, Pieper sheds light on present-day psychological problems and offers insights into the human condition.
