Pessimism: A History And A Criticism by James Sully is a comprehensive exploration of the philosophical concept of pessimism. Sully delves into the origins of pessimism in ancient Greek and Roman philosophy, tracing its development throughout history and its influence on literature, art, and culture. He also examines the various forms of pessimism, including Schopenhauer's metaphysical pessimism, Nietzsche's critique of pessimism, and the existentialist pessimism of Sartre and Camus. Throughout the book, Sully provides a critical analysis of the arguments put forth by pessimistic thinkers and offers his own perspective on the value and limitations of pessimism as a philosophical outlook. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of philosophy or the evolution of pessimistic thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
