520 "The Ends of Life examines the ways in which English men
and women between the early sixteenth and late eighteenth
centuries sought to lead fulfilling lives. In doing so it
illuminates the central values of the period, while at the
same time throwing incidental light on some of the
perennial problems of human existence. How should we live?
That question was no less urgent for English men and women
who lived between the early sixteenth and late eighteenth
centuries than for this book's readers. Keith Thomas's
masterly exploration of the ways in which people sought to
lead fulfilling lives in those centuries between the
beginning of the Reformation and the heyday of the
Enlightenment illuminates the central values of the period,
while casting incidental light on some of the perennial
problems of humanexistence. Consideration of the origins
of the modern ideal of human fulfilment and of obstacles
to its realization in the early modern period frames an
investigation that ranges from work, wealth, and
possessions to the pleasures of friendship, family, and
sociability. The cult of military prowess, the pursuit of
honour and reputation, the nature of religious belief and
scepticism, and the desire to be posthumously remembered
are all drawn into the discussion, and the views and
practices of ordinarypeople are measured against the
opinions of the leading philosophers and theologians of
the time"--Provided by publisher.
