Contentment in Contention de B. Southgate

Contentment in Contention

Autor B. Southgate
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 2 dec 2011
Southgate draws on ideas within history, philosophy, literature, psychology, and theology to explore two traditions: contentment with our situation as it is, and the aspiration to transcend it. He discusses the possibility of escape from intellectual constraints, and advocates a positive 'duty of discontent', and its implications.
