Publisher's Synopsis
""A True Estimate Of Human Life In Which The Passions Are Considered In A New Light"" is a philosophical work by Edward Young, published in 1759. The book explores the nature of human passions and their impact on our lives, arguing that passions are not inherently negative but rather can be harnessed for positive outcomes. Young draws on a range of sources, including classical philosophy and Christian theology, to make his case. The book is divided into four sections, each focusing on a different aspect of human life: youth, middle age, old age, and death. Throughout, Young offers insights into the human condition and provides guidance on how to live a fulfilling life. The book's style is poetic and rhetorical, making use of metaphor and allusion to convey its ideas. Overall, ""A True Estimate Of Human Life In Which The Passions Are Considered In A New Light"" is a thought-provoking and insightful work that offers a fresh perspective on the role of passions in our lives.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
