"A quest to understand our natural impulses",
By Libb Thims (Chicago) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: My Twentieth Century Philosophy (Hardcover)
One woman's quest to synthesize a modern theory of existence and persistence according to not how things should be but rather by how they are. If you want a human chemistry perspective of life, where each human is defined as an "integrated unit of energy", this is the book for you.
After being challenged by her Vassar college professor to come up with her own philosophy of life, Porteus does so with great acumen while struggling to incorporate the most up-to-date theories science has to offer. Now, with ninety plus years of learned wisdom, five vibrant children, and a rose garden of grandchildren and great-grandchildren, her impulse theory of happiness sits at par with Aristotle's definition of happiness as "activity in accordance with virtue" being the harmonious fulfillment of man's natural tendencies. Libb Thims, Chemical Engineer |
