Pro Vita Monastica: An Essay in Defense of the Contemplative Virtues is a book written by Henry Dwight Sedgwick. The book is an exploration of the monastic life and the virtues that are cultivated through contemplation and solitude. Sedgwick argues that the monastic life is not only a valid choice for individuals seeking a deeper spiritual connection, but also a valuable contribution to society as a whole. Throughout the book, Sedgwick examines the history of monasticism and the various forms it has taken throughout the centuries. He also delves into the contemplative virtues that are cultivated through monastic life, such as silence, solitude, and meditation. Sedgwick argues that these virtues are essential for individuals seeking a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them. He also contends that these virtues are necessary for society as a whole, as they promote a sense of inner peace and harmony that can have a positive impact on the larger community. Overall, Pro Vita Monastica is a thought-provoking exploration of the monastic life and the virtues that are cultivated through contemplation and solitude. It is a valuable read for anyone interested in spirituality, philosophy, or the history of monasticism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
