Hedonistic Theories from Aristippus to Spencer is a book written by John Watson in 1895. The book explores the history of hedonism, a philosophy that emphasizes pleasure as the ultimate goal of human life. Watson traces the development of hedonistic theories from ancient Greece to the 19th century, focusing on the ideas of philosophers such as Aristippus, Epicurus, Jeremy Bentham, and John Stuart Mill. The book also discusses the criticisms and challenges that hedonism has faced throughout history, including objections based on morality, practicality, and human nature. Overall, Hedonistic Theories from Aristippus to Spencer provides a comprehensive overview of hedonism and its place in the history of philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

    Kant’s Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals is one of the most important works in modern moral philosophy. It belongs beside Plato, Aristotle, Machiavelli, and Hobbes.

    HENRY DAVID THOREAU
    Civil Disobedience argues that citizens should not permit their governments to overrule their consciences, and that they have a duty to avoid allowing their acquiescence to enable the government to make them the agents of injustice. Thoreau was motivated in part by his disgust with slavery and the Mexican-American War, but the sentiments he expresses here are just as pertinent ...

  • Princesse de Clèves
    John Watson
    It might be that Madame de Lafayette’s novel of passion is one of the greatest in the genre. It is closer to the declamatory theatre of Racine than to anything else in the robust tradition of the English novels of Fielding or Smollett or Dickens. It has generated in John Watson a response in iambics, which seem in English the only way this expressive grandeur can be attempted. ...

    Many of Schubert’s six hundred songs were composed quickly, and often in the midst of of a gathering of friends loudly revelling or performing other music.

    John Watson
    Gawain and the Green Knight is the celebrated poem from the time of Chaucer, written in the dialect then current in the north of England. Chaucer’s language outlasted this dialect.
