On Unseriousness Of Human Affairs by James V Schall

On Unseriousness Of Human Affairs by James V Schall

Echoing philosophers such as Josef Pieper, this book explains how the modern world has inverted the rational order of human affairs, devaluing the activities of leisure and placing an exaggerated emphasis on utilitarian concerns.

“Readers will not go wrong ‘wasting’ the time it takes to cavort with the eternal truths presented, with such an enervating spirit of fun, in On the Unseriousness of Human Affairs” —National Catholic Register

“It is a book lightly written, laced with references to Charlie Brown and other cartoons, but deceptively heavy. I found myself inclined—almost forced—to pause after every section and think about Schall’s words.”
—Touchstone

“Schall’s call to take seriously the unseriousness things of life is clearly, cleverly, and creatively stated.” —Perspectives on Political Science

“This new collection on what it is to be an educated human does not disappoint.” —New Oxford Review
