Organised around such themes as harmony with one's self and with the world, religious ways of life, the use of reason, self-exploration, self-realisation, and social involvement, the selections in this anthology, edited and introduced by Charles Guignon, explore traditional and recent philosophical thought on the topic of human flourishing. This is a versatile series of compact anthologies, each devoted to a topic of traditional interest. Selections include classical, modern, and contemporary writings, chosen for thier elegance of exposition and their consistent ability to stimulate thought and discussion.
