Publisher's Synopsis

Is Life Worth Living? is a philosophical book written by William Hurrell Mallock. The book explores the question of whether life has any inherent value or meaning. Mallock argues that life is worth living, but only if one has a clear understanding of its purpose and meaning. He explores various philosophical and religious perspectives on the question of life's value, including those of Plato, Aristotle, Christianity, and modern science. Mallock also considers the role of human emotions, such as love, in giving life its value. The book is a thought-provoking exploration of one of the most fundamental questions of human existence, and it provides readers with a deep understanding of the various philosophical and religious perspectives on the meaning of life.1879. What Mallock deals with in this book is a question which may well strike many, at first sight, as a question that has no serious meaning, or not at any rate for the sane and healthy mind. He attempts to inquire, not sentimentally, but with all calmness and sobriety, into the true value of this human life of ours, as tried by those tests of reality which the modern world is accepting, and to ask dispassionately if it be really worth the living.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
