The Spectator, Vol. 5 of 12: With Sketches of the Lives of the Authors, an Index, and Explanatory Notes (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book is an exploration of human nature, examining how innate human vices and virtues are not restricted to specific time periods and environments but instead are archetypal. Drawing on examples from both antiquity and the modern world, the author posits that while people and societal norms have changed over time, human nature, in its essence, remains remarkably consistent. Through a series of engaging anecdotes and thought experiments, the author examines the topics of ambition, avarice, pride, love, and friendship, and how they manifest across human history. This book provides fascinating insights into our universal human experience and invites readers to reflect on their own moral values.
