The Marble Faun Or, The Romance of Monte Beni (Volume 1) (Edition1) – hinnat ja saatavuus

In an age shadowed by uncertainty, where inherited beliefs are questioned and new convictions struggle for ground, this collection of philosophical essays offers a bracing invitation to think freely. Here, the great currents of modern philosophy converge with a lucid, unsparing intellect-one that probes the tensions between rationalism and belief, and the enduring demand for ethics and morality in a secular world. With crystalline prose and a sharp, questioning spirit, these essays illuminate the dilemmas of twentieth-century thought, drawing upon the legacy of British intellectual history and the restless curiosity that marked the era's greatest minds. Long unavailable to readers, this work was out of print for decades and is now republished by Alpha Editions. It has been restored for today's and future generations, preserving both the original clarity and the quiet urgency that made it a touchstone for philosophy students and lifelong learners alike. The essays traverse the landscape of classic nonfiction, engaging with the likes of Aldous Huxley and John Stuart Mill, while never losing sight of the personal and societal stakes of belief itself. The result is a tapestry of ideas-at once rigorous and humane-that speaks to anyone wrestling with the big questions of existence, meaning, and moral responsibility. More than a reprint, this edition is a collector's item and a cultural treasure, thoughtfully produced to honour its literary and historical significance. Whether you are a casual reader seeking insight into secular humanism, or a collector building a library of enduring works, this volume stands as a testament to the enduring value of open inquiry. Its arguments remain as vital and provocative as when they first appeared, inviting each new generation to engage afresh with the perennial questions of what it means to believe and to live well.
