Leisure: The Basis of Culture Josef Pieper
Publisher: Ignatius Press



To read a literary journal requires leisure; and to be reading this new literary journal suggests an excess of it. All of Doctor Pieper's works are gems of wisdom, but this one is arguably his best. And yet, an authentic definition of his word can give a whole new perspective on its importance. I would strongly urge a reading of Josef Pieper “Leisure, The Basis of Culture” There he argues that we are losing our ability to do true philosophical work that is more contemplative, or receptive, in nature. Leisure: The Basis of Culture - Despite the chaos our current economy is experiencing, this is a perfect book to better understand the problems and the solutions. "Leisure has had a bad press," writes British philosopher Roger Scruton in the introduction of this edition to this brilliant work by German philosopher Josef Pieper. Leisure: The Basis of Culture, Pieper, Josef, Philosophy Books - Blackwell Online Bookshop. I am delighted that Michael Terheyden appreciated the importance of this brief but masterful study by philosopher, Josef Pieper. According to Josef Pieper, leisure is the very basis of culture. Leisure is a form of that stillness that is the necessary preparation for accepting reality; only the person who is still can hear, and whoever is not still, cannot hear. Such stillness Leisure: The Basis of Culture by Josef Pieper.
