"When Herakles was taken up to the consistory of the gods, he approached Here first of all, and saluted her. "'How, ' said Zeus, 'do you first seek your worst enemy to do her courtesy?' "'Yea, 'said Herakles, 'her malice it was made me do such deeds as have lifted me to Heaven.'" - From the German. " Beyond the path of the outmost sun through utter darkness hurled - Further than ever comet flared or vagraut star-dust swirled - Live such as fought and sailed and ruled and loved and made our world. They take their mirth in the joy of earth - they dare not grieve for her pain - They know of toil and the end of toil, they know God's law is plain, So they whistle the Devil to make them sport who know that Sin is vain." - Rudtard Kipling.

This book was released on 2018-08-04 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Optimism and Pessimism, or the Problem of Evil We come now to the philosophical efforts to solve the problem of evil. Here our inquiries must be limited to the most important. Plato, notwithstanding his idealism, or rather because of it, was by no means an Optimist, at least in relation to this life. In his judg ment, the condition of the human race on earth was essentially one of punishment and suffering for sins committed in a former state of being. He vindicates the pre-existence and transmigration of souls, though in a more dignified form than this doctrine was held by the Hindoos in India. The sensuous body appeared to him as the prison of the soul, from which it is to be freed by death. Matter is not any true existence, but the nothing, that which is impervious to true knowledge, the irrational. But, notwithstanding all this, Plato is not to be regarded as a Pessimist. He does not limit human existence to this earthly life, but supposes it to continue, and therefore to be capable of higher perfection or likeness to what is divine. This is evident from the proofs of the soul's immortality which he puts into the mouth of Socrates. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pessimism That Pessimism may be offered by some of its devotees as an escape, a refuge, a haven, a salvation will appear to many as very doubt ful. And yet we find it, in that land where life acquires the nature both of a 'dream and a burden, ' put forth in no equivocal terms as an emancipation from life's sufferings. That Pessimism is offered as a solution of existence is less difficult for us to comprehend; still, it may seem to many as highly question able. However, we may best understand certain of Pessimism's forms by regarding it not only as an explanation of existence but as a sincere attempt to solve the riddle of the universe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies in Pessimism Arthur Schopenhauer Pessimism is a mental attitude. Pessimists anticipate undesirable outcomes from a given situation, which is generally referred to as situational pessimism, or believe that undesirable things are going to happen to them in life more than desirable ones. Pessimists also tend to focus on the negatives of life in general or a given situation. The most common example of this phenomenon is the "Is the glass half empty or half full?" situation. In this situation a pessimist is said to see the glass as half empty while an optimist is said to see the glass as half full. Throughout history, the pessimistic disposition has had effects on all major areas of thinking. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ultimatum of Pessimism, an Ethical Study Among those who hold that the balance is on the side of happiness, i.e. Is positive, we may distinguish two classes - there are some who hope a still further development of the positive Resultant and there are others who fear its progressive diminution, and, still worse, its ultimate degeneracy, through zero, to the negative side. These might respectively be described by the uncouth but analogical compounds Bono meliorists and Bono-pejorists. (to call a man an Optimo-meliorist would be plainly inadmissible.) Similarly with respect to the maintainers of the negative balance. Some may hope that the evil Resultant will diminish, and, perhaps, passing through zero, may even reach the positive side. Others may dread its still further growth in a downward direction from the neutral line of life. These would of course be Malo-meliorists and Malo-pejorists.

This book was released on 2017-09-17 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Birth of Tragedy, or Hellenism and Pessimism Our father's family was also in fairly comfortable circumstances, and likewise very large. Our grand father Dr. Nietzsche (d.d. And Superintendent) married twice, and had in all twelve children, of whom three died young. Our grandfather on this side, whom I never knew, must certainly have been a distinguished, dignified, very learned and reserved man; his second wife - our beloved grandmother was an active-minded, intelligent, and exceptionally good-natured woman. The whole of our father's family, which I only got to know when they were very advanced in years, were remarkable for their great power of self-control, their lively interest in intellectual matters, and a strong sense of family unity, which manifested itself both in their splen did readiness to help one another and in their very excellent relations with each other. Our father was the youngest son, and, thanks to his un commonly lovable disposition, together with other gifts, which only tended to become more marked as he grew older, he was quite the favourite of the family. Blessed with a thoroughly sound constitution, as all averred who knew him at the convent-school in Rossleben, at the University, or later at the ducal court of Altenburg, he was tall and slender, possessed an undoubted gift for poetry and real musical talent, and was moreover a man of delicate sensibilities, full of consideration for his whole family, and distinguished in his manners.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sublime Pessimism: Of Omar Khayam, the Astronomer-Poet of Persia My interest in the Rubayat has been chiefly literary and speculative: but it has been very deep and tender - and, if possible, even abiding. A few years ago, when I happened to be in England, I came across one or two admirers of Omar Khayam;and I was very much struck with the deep impression that the Persian Poet in his English garb, that is, such as Fitzgerald had clothed him in, had made on their minds. In one of their clubs they invited me to give an informal "talk" on this Eastern poet, and I accepted the invitation. I spoke only very briefly giving them some of my early impressions of the poetry of Omar. Very soon I came to find out - and that to my intense surprise - that Omar had quite a large circle of warm admirers in that cold and distant land. From England I went to America; and there also I realized that Omar was deeply loved and greatly cherished among the literary classes of the United States. I had occasion to speak on Omar Khayam before several of the leading literary clubs in the United States. In February 1898, I gave an address on the poetry and philosophy of Omar Khayam, before the Indian National Association in London, when Sir Alfred Lyall was in the chair.

Download or read book Conflict in Nature and Life written by John Stahl Patterson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-30 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Conflict in Nature and Life: A Study of Antagonism in the Constitution of Things; For the Elucidation of the Problem of Good and Evil, and the Reconciliation of Optimism and Pessimism This last point is the subject of this volume. It is now over twenty years since it was first suggested to the writer's mind by observation and re ection on human nature and its experiences in life. The conception may not strike the reader as path breaking by any means, yet such has it been to the author. Each of the above-named acquisitions necessitated the dropping of something as error, which had previously been held as truth. This was not less the case with the last than with any of the others. It revolutionized his method of looking at the possibili ties of life, and changed the direction of his efforts with regard to those possibilities. It seemed to have a practical use, as well as philosophical interest; and it occurred to him then to work it out in some of its scientific, historical, and practical relations, with the hope that it might be of interest to others, and perhaps, not altogether without a desirable in uence on conduct. The writer has been in no haste to organize his study of the subject into a book, wishing it, whenever it might take form, to be as little crude as possible. Besides, he has been too busy with more immediate and pressing interests, to make rapid progress in the systematic study of a philosophical problem having such a multiplicity of connections as this.

Download or read book Pessimism and Love written by David Russell Scott and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pessimism and Love: In Ecclesiastes and the Song of Songs, With Translations From the Same This preface is only necessary for the opportunity which it gives of making acknowledgments. I am indebted for one or two illustrations in the earlier chapters of the book to the Expositions of Ecclesiastes by the late Rev. Samuel Cox, D.D.; and doubtless, throughout the book, to many other sources both for illustrations and ideas, for originality is scarce, and a striving after it but "vanity and vexation of spirit." I have to thank the Rev. James Hastings, D.D., of Aberdeen, for his kindness in allowing the article on "The Wise Man" to be reprinted from The Expository Times. Some of the studies made their first appearance clothed for the pulpit, and, no doubt, still wear, as they go to the press, part of their original dress. To those who suffered them in their sermonic form I feel that I ought to express my thanks, and, to any and all who may suffer them as they now are, my humble wish that the labour of reading will not be either a sore "weariness to the flesh" or a continuous "pursuit after wind."
