Publisher's Synopsis
""Events Common To All: Things Peculiar To The Good"" is a philosophical work written by Thomas Hughes and published in 1861. The book explores the concept of human nature and the role of morality in shaping it. Hughes argues that there are certain events and experiences that are common to all human beings, such as birth, death, and suffering, but that it is the way in which individuals respond to these events that determines their moral character. He contends that those who respond with kindness, compassion, and selflessness are the ones who possess true goodness. The book also delves into the nature of happiness and the importance of cultivating virtues such as courage, honesty, and humility in order to achieve it. Overall, ""Events Common To All: Things Peculiar To The Good"" is a thought-provoking exploration of human nature and the importance of living a virtuous life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
