Project Gutenberg 2010-06-13 Public domain in the USA. 72 Demetrakopoulos, Polyvios 1864 1922 Δημητρακόπουλος, Πολύβιος Dimitrakopoulos, Polybius Αρκάς, Πολ Arcas, Pol Arcas, Paul Dimitrakopoulos, Polyvios Αι δύο διαθήκαι Produced by Sophia Canoni "Αι δύο διαθήκαι" by Polyvios Demetrakopoulos is a collection of philosophical essays written in the early 20th century. The work combines social commentary with profound insights into human nature and morality, posing questions about wisdom, happiness, and the human condition. It presents a unique voice that aims to provoke thought and reflection among its readers. The opening of the book introduces a narrative framed as advice directed to a rooster, humorously anthropomorphizing the bird while also serving as a vehicle for deeper philosophical musings. The author expresses skepticism about knowledge and the pursuit of happiness, questioning the value of conventional wisdom. Through a series of aphoristic statements and reflections, the text encourages readers to consider the complexity of their aspirations and the often illusory nature of happiness, suggesting that the journey towards understanding life is as significant as any conclusions drawn from it.
