An elegant collection of reflections on the great classic virtues by which we may endeavor to live our lives. Johannes Gaertner's philosophical musings shed fresh, contemporary light on old world virtues, from "sensitivity", "beauty", and prudence" to "compassion", "intellect", "tact" and the value of "absurdity". Often witty, sometimes dry, and always insightful, these meditations possess a simplicity which belies a depth of emotion and richness of meaning.
The author, a professor with a world view enriched by a long life in many cultures, assembled these entries over the course of many years; his daughter found them, published them as a Christmas gift to him, and the book went on to become an underground bestseller in hardcover. This is the first paperback edition to be released in the United States (Printed in the United States). The author lived from 1912 to 1996, was born in Berlin and settled in the United States in 1946. He is a well known Professor of art history and a much admired poet and theologian.
