The Greek View of Life (Esprios Classics)

Goldsworthy Lowes Dickinson (1862-1932), known as Goldie, was a British political scientist and philosopher. He lived most of his life at Cambridge, where he wrote a dissertation on Neoplatonism before becoming a fellow. He was closely associated with the Bloomsbury Group. Dickinson was deeply distressed by Britain''s involvement in the First World War. Within a fortnight of the war''s breaking out he drew up the idea of a League of Nations, and his subsequent writings helped to shape public opinion towards the creation of the League. His works include: The Greek View of Life (1896/98), The Meaning of Good (1901), A Modern Symposium (1905), Religion and Immortality (1911), The European Anarchy (1916), Plato and his Dialogues (1931), and Hands Off China! (1932).
