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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ultimatum of Pessimism, an Ethical Study 1. The question concerning the Worth of Life - Is Life Worthy, or Worthless, or worse than Worthless? - occupies in Ethics a position in some respects similar to that of the Personality of God in scientific Theology. This latter science is not, indeed, altogether abolished when, instead of the expression 'Divine Person,' we substitute such forms as 'Integral of Creation,' or 'Stream of Tendency;' but the structures raised upon such different bases bear small resemblance to each other, and Theology really becomes an equivocal term. Similarly in Ethics, we may lay down the proposition that Life is worse than worthless, and we can build on this postulate a science of morals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Pessimism: A Series of Essays Unless seafaring is the direct and immediate object of life, our existence must entirely fail of its aim. It is absurd to look upon the enormous amount Of pain that abounds everywhere in the world, and originates in needs and necessities inseparable from life itself, as serving no purpose at all and the result of mere chance. Each separate misfortune, as it comes, seems, no doubt, to be something exceptional but misfortune in general is the rule.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pessimism: A History and a Criticism The present work consists almost exclusively of matter not previously published. Yet to avoid misapprehension it may be well to say that some of my objections to the pessimist's view of life are to be found in an essay on this subject in the Cornhill Magazine April 1876; that my account of Hartmann is partly reprinted from an article on this writer in the Fortnightly Review August 1876; and finally that the analysis of Schopenhauer's character may be found roughly sketched in a criticism of Miss Zimmern's biography of the pessimist in the Examiner, February 19, 1876. I need hardly add that these articles are from my own pen. I have great pleasure in acknowledging the assistance lent me by my friend Mr. F. Y. Edgeworth, M.A., of Balliol College, to whose careful perusal of the proof-sheets I am indebted for numerous improvements both in the argument and in the style of the work.

Download or read book Optimism and Pessimism Or the Problem of Evil Classic Reprint written by Jakob Frohschammer and published by Forgotten Books. 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.

Download or read book Pessimism Classic Reprint written by Benjamin Franklin Lacy and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 100 pages. 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.
