- Author Name : Will Durant
A Survey of Human Life and Destiny."
Confession: This book, despite its gay new title, is a revised edition of The Mansions of Philosophy, which was published in 1929.
Invitation: This book is an attempt at a consistent philosophy of life. It tries to do for the problems of philosophy what The Story of Philosophy sought to do for the personalities and systems of the major philosophers--to make them intelligible by transparent speech, and to vitalize them by contemporary application.
