Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book brings together a series of essays that argue against widely held opinions. The author, a Spanish clergyman, argues that these opinions are not necessarily true or based on sound reasoning. He believes that people often accept these opinions as true simply because they are widely held, and he sets out to challenge this assumption. The essays cover a wide range of topics, from the nature of virtue and vice to the value of nobility. The author draws on examples from history, philosophy, and literature to support his arguments. Some of the topics the author focuses on include his belief that the pursuit of pleasure leads to more suffering than the pursuit of virtue, that ambition, avarice, and luxury are the root of most evil, and that the opinions of the common people are not always correct. This book ultimately reveals how challenging widely held assumptions can lead to greater understanding and enlightenment. 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 # 9781334518140_0
