Is Life Worth Living? - William James - Bog

""Is Life Worth Living?"" is a philosophical work by American philosopher and psychologist William James. Originally delivered as a series of lectures at the University of Edinburgh in 1901, the book explores the question of whether human life has intrinsic meaning and value. James argues that life is worth living, but that its value is not inherent and must be actively created and maintained by individuals. He examines various sources of meaning, including religion, science, art, and personal relationships, and discusses the role of free will, morality, and the pursuit of happiness in shaping our lives. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the philosophy of life.THIS 38 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Will to Believe and Other Essays in Popular Philosophy, by William James.
