Is Life Worth Living? (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162601618)

""Is Life Worth Living?"" is a philosophical work written by William Hurrell Mallock. The book explores the question of whether life has any inherent value or meaning. Mallock examines various arguments for and against the idea that life is worth living, drawing on a range of philosophical and literary sources. He considers the role of religion, science, and culture in shaping our understanding of the purpose of life. Ultimately, Mallock argues that life is indeed worth living, but that individuals must find their own meaning and purpose in order to fully appreciate its value. The book was first published in 1879 and has since become a classic of philosophical literature.1879. What Mallock deals with in this book is a question which may well strike many, at first sight, as a question that has no serious meaning, or not at any rate for the sane and healthy mind. He attempts to inquire, not sentimentally, but with all calmness and sobriety, into the true value of this human life of ours, as tried by those tests of reality which the modern world is accepting, and to ask dispassionately if it be really worth the living.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
