Synopsis
Excerpt from Some Fundamental Values
Last Monday evening an audience that packed the Opera house was profoundly moved. Kreisler, as few can, interpreted on a rare old violin some of Chopin's most exquisite music, and when at the close of the performance two prominent and beautiful young women presented the artist with baskets of lilies and roses respectively, such an ovation followed as has seldom been seen in our city.
The following evening, however, at a session of the Modern Truth Association, now meeting in this city, the celebrated Dr. Bunk pre sented considerations which among thinking people have created a decided stir.
The learned man called attention to the fact that the sounds that had so moved the audience arose simply from the vibrations of cat, gut, that the cat is a relatively inconsequential animal, that a dead cat is even less significant than a living one, and finally that the gut of the cat is the most unromantic portion of the feline anatomy; even the nocturnal Vibrations of the vocal cords of the living cat have not usually awakened rapturous emotions on the part of the listeners. In view of these undoubted truths the emotional reaction of the audience Monday evening was shown to be highly irrational.

Some Fundamental Values (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an intriguing discourse on the fundamental values that shape human existence. The author delves into the complex relationship between the realm of physical science and the realm of personality, exploring how our understanding of the physical world has impacted our perception of human nature. The author highlights the rise of mechanistic determinism, a philosophy that posits that everything in the universe, including human behavior, is governed by the laws of physics. This perspective has led to a widespread belief that human values are mere illusions, rooted in biological urges and devoid of inherent significance. Drawing on the works of philosophers, psychologists, and literary critics, the author challenges this notion, arguing that human personality transcends the physical and possesses inherent dignity and meaning. By examining such concepts as imagination, sentiment, and the nature of reality, the book offers a nuanced and insightful exploration of the enduring value of human experience. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780282508142_0
