Utjehe filozofije

Utjehe filozofije

Alain de Botton

Every society has its own notions of what to believe and how to behave so as not to be suspicious and unaccepted.

De Botton considers the connection between the thoughts of Socrates, Epicurus, Seneca, Montaigne, Schopenhauer, and Nietzsche and their personal destinies, which are both distinctive and exemplary, and as life testimonies offer a message and lesson that remains relevant and carries the power of authenticity even in the world we live in today. The author does not opt ​​for a strict analytical-scientific approach, but in a light and flowing, unobtrusive style introduces the life stories, but also the world of thought of the aforementioned philosophers.
