Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. In this book, the author focuses on the topic of human vanity, defined as valuing outward appearances, and how it shapes perceptions of others and ourselves. The author discusses vanity as a topic present across time periods and cultures, citing the ancient Roman philosopher Publilius Syrus and the early Christian monk Evagrius Ponticus. The author also discusses vanity as a topic covered in literature, specifically referencing âEcclesiastes.â Finally, the author provides anecdotes and examples that illustrate the authorâs personal observations on vanity. The author concludes by stating that to fight vanity is to fight oneâs own nature, and that to love vanity is to desire to appear superior to others, and that this is a common disposition of humankind.
