The Consolation of Philosophy (Chinese-English Bilingual Illustrated Version)

Although the thinkers who have been called philosophers have varied greatly throughout the ages, it is possible to find a small group of slightly similar people centuries apart, all of whom have in common a loyalty to the original Greek meaning of the word "philosophy" - "love" and "wisdom." Their common hobby is to say some comforting and practical words to us about the source of the greatest pain in life; their common spirit is not to bow to the world and insist on independent thinking. De Botton leads us on a relaxing philosophical journey with his unique British style. Elegant and beautiful, he helps us get closer to the spiritual world of masters such as Socrates, Epicurus, Montaigne, Nietzsche, and Schopenhauer, making us discover that the misery, hardship and troubles caused by desires in life can find solace in their wisdom.
