Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Essays on Nature and Culture
The art of living is the supreme art because it presents the widest range of material, and the most varied, delicate, and enduring forms of activity. Sculpture, painting, music, architecture, literature, taken together, are an expression of the human spirit realizing itself and its surroundings in the language of beauty; morality is the attempt of the same spirit to discern and live in right relations to other human Spirits; religion, its endeavor to establish and sustain fellowship with the Divine Spirit; philosophy, its effort to discover that final generali zation which shall put that spirit in command of the order of the universe; and history, the record of the struggle of that spirit to achieve.
