The True Nature Of Value

By Rufus Farrington Sprague

Book Overview

The True Nature of Value, written by Rufus Farrington Sprague, is a book that delves into the concept of value and its meaning in our lives. Sprague argues that value is not just a monetary concept, but rather a holistic one that encompasses all aspects of human existence, including social, psychological, and spiritual dimensions.The book is divided into three parts, each exploring a different aspect of value. The first part focuses on the historical and philosophical roots of the concept of value, tracing its evolution from ancient times to the present day. Sprague argues that value has always been a central concern of human societies, and that it has taken on different meanings and forms over time.The second part of the book examines the role of value in contemporary society, particularly in relation to economics and business. Sprague argues that our current economic system is based on a narrow and limited understanding of value, one that prioritizes profit and efficiency over other important considerations such as social and environmental impact.The final part of the book explores the spiritual dimensions of value, arguing that true value cannot be measured or quantified, but rather must be experienced and lived. Sprague draws on a range of spiritual traditions, including Christianity, Buddhism, and Taoism, to argue that true value is ultimately a matter of personal growth and transformation.Overall, The True Nature of Value is a thought-provoking and insightful book that challenges readers to reconsider their understanding of value and its place in our lives. Whether you are interested in philosophy, economics, or spirituality, this book offers a fresh and compelling perspective on one of the most fundamental concepts of human existence.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
