The Steps of Life Further Essays On Happiness
By Carl Hilty, a Swiss philosopher, writer and lawyer. Introduction says: The welcome offered to the translation of Professor Hilty’s “Happiness” amply justifies the translation of a second series of his essays. The same notes of tranquil reflection and keen observation, which have drawn to the earlier volumes many readers both in Europe and America, are here struck again.
Professor Hilty is not a preacher, and his essays are not sermons. He is a professor of
Constitutional Law, and the studies
of life which these volumes represent are products of his leisure hours, wrought out of his meditation and experience. Sin and sorrow, culture and courage, a just judgment of others, a rational optimism, and a simple Christian faith these are the “Steps of Life” up which this wise teacher mounts, and which he invites thoughtful readers to climb.
