By William F Miltenberger

Book Overview

De Felicitate is a book written by William F. Miltenberger and published in 1914. The title translates to ""On Happiness"" in English. The book is a philosophical exploration of the concept of happiness and what it means to be truly happy. Miltenberger draws on the works of ancient philosophers such as Aristotle and Epicurus, as well as more contemporary thinkers like Friedrich Nietzsche and William James, to build his argument.The book is divided into three parts. The first part explores the nature of happiness and what it means to be happy. Miltenberger argues that happiness is not simply a fleeting emotion, but rather a state of being that is achieved through a combination of factors such as pleasure, contentment, and a sense of purpose.The second part of the book delves into the different ways that people seek happiness, from material possessions to spiritual enlightenment. Miltenberger argues that while these pursuits may bring temporary happiness, they ultimately fall short of providing true and lasting fulfillment.The final part of the book focuses on the role of virtue in achieving happiness. Miltenberger argues that living a virtuous life is essential to achieving true happiness, as it allows individuals to live in harmony with themselves and the world around them.Overall, De Felicitate is a thought-provoking exploration of the nature of happiness and what it means to live a fulfilling life. It draws on a wide range of philosophical traditions to build a comprehensive and compelling argument that will resonate with readers interested in the pursuit of happiness.This Book Is In English.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
