{"product_id":"9781532632068","title":"Design for Living: Regard, Concern, Service, and Love","description":"Written in 1954 but unpublished in his lifetime, Robert Friedmann's Design for Living asks that pertinent existential question: how should we live? Drawing on literary, philosophical, and theological sources, Friedmann's answer begins with a critique of utilitarian ethics and popular apathy, and proceeds through an existential preparation that ascends in confessional style to the question of the meaning of human life, culminating in a fourfold set of principles: regard, concern, service, and love. Along the way, Friedmann's critical eye remains clearly fixed on his object of study--lived experience, and not abstract principles detached from day-to-day life--and he intentionally guides his reader step by step up the mountain of spiritual and ethical inquiry in a deliberate and serious attempt to educate the heart, mind, and soul. At once accessible and scholarly, while troubling our contemporary divide between religion and the secular, Design for Living presents a rare vision of human meaning and purpose that will appeal to scholarly and public readers alike.","brand":"Wipf \u0026 Stock Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47127994138864,"sku":"9781532632068","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781532632068_p0.jpg?v=1763743211","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781532632068","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
