STUDIES IN PESSIMISM

Meer over het boek

Exploring the nature of existence, this work emphasizes that life is characterized by constant motion and an elusive present. It illustrates the struggle to achieve rest, likening it to a man running downhill or a planet orbiting a sun—both require relentless forward momentum to avoid collapse. The text delves into themes of unrest and the inherent instability of life, suggesting that striving for permanence is futile in a world defined by change.
