The Value Of Life - Mary Putnam Jacobi - Bog

""The Value of Life: A Reply to Mr. Mallock's Essay, Is Life Worth Living?"" is a book written by Mary Putnam Jacobi in response to William Hurrell Mallock's essay, ""Is Life Worth Living?"" published in 1879. In this book, Jacobi argues against Mallock's pessimistic view of life and defends the value of life. She argues that life is worth living because it provides opportunities for personal growth, intellectual development, and social progress. Jacobi also critiques Mallock's flawed reasoning and argues that his views are not supported by scientific evidence or philosophical principles. The book is a compelling defense of the value of life and an important contribution to the philosophical debates of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
