Characteristics of Men, Manners, Opinions, Times is a philosophical treatise written by Anthony Ashley Cooper, also known as the Earl of Shaftesbury, in the early 18th century. The book explores various aspects of human nature, including morality, aesthetics, and politics. Shaftesbury argues that the pursuit of virtue and beauty is essential for a fulfilling life, and that these ideals are inherent in human nature. He also discusses the importance of social interaction and the role of government in promoting the common good. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, and has been praised for its originality and insight. It has had a significant influence on subsequent philosophical and literary works, and remains a classic of Enlightenment thought.1711. Two Volumes in One.
