Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book's search for happiness finds a prominent 18th-century philosopher-poet grappling with the big questions, using wit, reason, and rhyme to explore life's meaning and purpose. The author, greatly influenced by the works of John Locke and Isaac Newton, penned this inquiry into the nature of the universe, the role of the divine, and humanity's place within it all. Through the use of reason and logic, the author posits that in our relentless pursuit of happiness, we must never lose sight of our own mortality. This book of verse remains an essential text for scholars of philosophy and poetry today, with its exploration of Enlightenment ideals that continue to resonate in the modern era.
