{"product_id":"happiness-and-contemplation","title":"Happiness and Contemplation","description":"\"The ultimate of human happiness is to be found in contemplation\".\nIn offering this proposition of Thomas Aquinas to our thought, Josef Pieper uses traditional wisdom in order to throw light on present-day reality and present-day psychological problems. What, in fact, does one pursue in pursuing happiness? What, in the consensus of the wisdom of the early Greeks, of Plato and Aristotle, of the New Testament, of Augustine and Aquinas, is that condition of perfect bliss toward which all life and effort tend by nature?\nIn this profound and illuminating inquiry, Pieper considers the nature of contemplation, and the meaning and goal of life.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1890318310\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 4EKGU900F9MD_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Pieper, Josef\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
