Late Twentieth Century Lessons in Wisdom
or
Subjects for Discussion
1
L. León
Abstract:
The book discusses many pieces of wisdom and human dignity, ethics
and happiness as there are in the books of all ages, but now
relative to the lethal problems of today. The set-up of the
master-disciple relation, which is used in the television Kung Fu
series, is applied and of the other Chinese wise, just as in
literature nowadays, i.e. by quotations and commentary, in short
stretches. Yet the modern view, i.e late 20th century life, is
utilized. The Tao Te Ching, the Analects, the Dhammapada, etc. are
joined by similar sayings of the Graeco-Roman sources available.
In keeping with the wish to bind the reader's attention only for
short periods by a sequence of short items, the author tried not
to go into lengthy rhetoric, hence, kept the items apart, not in
logically following order. Yet there are links and
cross-connections all through the book. Related items, also, are
referred to at the end of each item.
