Is Life Worth Living? - Paperback

by William Hurrell Mallock (Author)

Is Life Worth Living? is a classic philosophy essay by William Hurrell Mallock. In this book the words 'positive, ' 'positivist, ' and 'positivism' are of constant occurrence as applied to modern thought and thinkers. To avoid any chance of confusion or misconception, it will be well to say that these words as used by me have no special reference to the system of Comte or his disciples, but are applied to the common views and position of the whole scientific school, one of the most eminent members of which--I mean Professor Huxley--has been the most trenchant and contemptuous critic that 'positivism' in its narrower sense has met with.
