The Vanity Of Moral Life Or Man Considered In His Present Mortal State

By John Howe

Book Overview

""The Vanity Of Moral Life Or Man Considered In His Present Mortal State"" is a philosophical treatise written by John Howe, a prominent English Puritan theologian and preacher, in the late 17th century. The book explores the nature of human existence and the inherent limitations and imperfections of mortal life. Howe argues that despite our best efforts to live a moral and virtuous life, we are ultimately subject to the whims of fate and the inevitability of death. He examines the various ways in which humans try to find meaning and purpose in life, including through religion, philosophy, and the pursuit of wealth and power, and ultimately concludes that all of these pursuits are ultimately futile and meaningless in the face of our mortality. The book is a powerful meditation on the human condition and a reminder of the fragility and transience of life.THIS 102 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Sacred Classics or Cabinet Library of Divinity Theological Treatises V20, by John Howe.
