The Soul And Money (1872) - Paperback

by Jeremias Gotthelf (Author), Guarterick Vere (Translator)

The Soul and Money is a philosophical treatise written by the Swiss author Jeremias Gotthelf in 1872. The book explores the relationship between material wealth and spiritual well-being, and argues that the pursuit of money and possessions can lead to spiritual emptiness and moral corruption.Gotthelf draws on a range of religious and philosophical traditions to make his case, including Christianity, Buddhism, and Stoicism. He argues that true happiness and fulfilment come not from the accumulation of wealth, but from a deep sense of purpose and meaning in life.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of the relationship between money and the soul. Gotthelf discusses the dangers of greed and materialism, the importance of generosity and charity, and the role of work and productivity in a meaningful life.Overall, The Soul and Money is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of one of the most fundamental questions of human existence: what does it mean to live a good life?This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
