About The Five Great Philosophies of Life by William De Witt Hyde In the Five Great Philosophies of Life by William De Witt Hyde, Hyde discusses the principles of the Epicurean pursuit of pleasure, genialbut ungenerous; the Stoic law of self-control, strenuous but forbidding;the Platonic plan of subordination, sublime but ascetic; the Aristotelian sense of proportion, practical but uninspiring; and theChristian Spirit of Love, broadest and deepest of them all.William De Witt Hyde was an American college president, born at Winchendon, Mass. He graduated from Harvard University in 1879 and from Andover Theological Seminary in 1882. Ordained to the Congregational ministry in 1883, he was a pastor at Newark, N. J., in 1883-85, and thereafter was president of Bowdoin College, also holding the chair of mental and moral philosophy.
