‎The rare first edition of Rüdiger’s work in which he reflects on how individuals can achieve inner peace and contentment – being one of his most notable works and a fine example of his approach to practical ethics. Andreas Rüdiger (1673–1731) was a significant German philosopher, mathematician, and physicist of the early 18th century, associated with the rationalist tradition. Educated and later a professor at the University of Leipzig, Rüdiger was influenced by philosophers like Leibniz and Wolff. His work spanned philosophy, ethics, mathematics, and physics, reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of Enlightenment thought.‎
