Union des sentences de philosophie by Anonymous
"Union des sentences de philosophie" by Anonymous is a collection of philosophical sayings and moral reflections, most likely compiled during the late 16th century. This work gathers memorable sentences from various renowned authors—ancient and contemporary—arranged alphabetically and intended as a guide for virtuous living and wise conversation. Its main topic is the presentation of condensed moral wisdom and practical advice on human conduct, virtue, and philosophy, making it useful for anyone seeking
to lead a thoughtful and respected life. The opening of "Union des sentences de philosophie" includes a poetic preface inviting readers to engage with the work for both self-improvement and social respectability, followed by an advertisement that emphasizes the benefit of having wise sayings readily available instead of scattered among countless sources. The collection then begins its alphabetical arrangement, offering succinct philosophical reflections on topics such as age, abstinence, friendship, the soul, justice, and a wide spectrum of matters related to personal virtue and social relations. Each entry consists of carefully selected quotes and paraphrases from ancient philosophers like Pythagoras, Plato, Aristotle, Cicero, and more, focusing on ethical guidance and the cultivation of a principled life.
