About the book: 2009 / This book contains 12,000 aphoristic statements that are used as interpretations of more than 7,500 concepts on the topic "Man and his life." These concepts, in turn, are the names of thematic blocks that group statements by different authors on the same topic. For the convenience of the reader, each aphoristic statement has a number. At the end of the book there is a Name and Subject Index. The Name Index lists the names of all authors of aphorisms in alphabetical order, provides biographical information (where this has been established) and the numbers of their statements. The Subject Index contains all defined concepts and numbers of aphorisms revealing them. Thanks to this, the reader can easily find statements by one author or statements on one topic. The book is intended for the widest range of readers.
