Weak and delicate minds may perhaps be alarmed by the title of this work. The word "Solitude" may possibly engender melancholy ideas. But they have only to read a few pages to be undeceived. The author is not one of those extravagant misanthropists, who expect that men, formed by nature for the enjoyments of society, and impelled continually towards it by a multitude of powerful and invincible propensities, should seek refuge in forests and inhabit the dreary cave or lonely cell: he is a friend to the species, a rational philosopher, and a virtuous citizen, who, encouraged by the esteem of his sovereign, endeavours to enlighten the minds of his fellow-creatures upon a subject of infinite importance to them, the attainment of true felicity.

It is the nature of human society and its correspondent duties which he here undertakes to examine.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a defense of solitude, arguing it is a place of discovery rather than isolation. The author acknowledges the perils of solitude, but asserts that by embracing it, people find their thoughts, their minds, and even the Divine. Drawing heavily on history, philosophy, religion, and literature, the author makes the case that solitude restores frayed nerves, elevates the mind, and nurtures genius. The result is a work filled with quotable maxims and witty parables that support the pursuit of solitude as a practice that can enhance one's life, instead of diminishing it. 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. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781330508213_0
