Life And Its Aims: In Two Parts (1854)

By Elise Osborne

Book Overview

""Life And Its Aims: In Two Parts"" is a philosophical book written by Elise Osborne and published in 1854. The book is divided into two parts, each focusing on different aspects of life and its purpose. In the first part, Osborne explores the various aims and goals that people pursue in life, such as wealth, fame, and power. She argues that these pursuits are ultimately unsatisfying and do not bring true happiness or fulfillment. Instead, she suggests that the true aim of life should be the pursuit of virtue and the development of a strong moral character. The second part of the book delves into the concept of immortality and the afterlife. Osborne examines different religious and philosophical beliefs about what happens after death, and offers her own ideas on the subject. She argues that the soul is immortal and that the afterlife is a continuation of the journey towards moral perfection that begins in life. Overall, ""Life And Its Aims: In Two Parts"" is a thought-provoking exploration of the meaning and purpose of life, and offers insights into how to live a fulfilling and virtuous existence.Contains Part First, Ideal Life; Part Second, Actual Life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
