Summary "Felicidade pela Agricultura (Vol. I)" by Antonio Feliciano de Castilho is a philosophical treatise focused on agrarian principles, written in the mid-19th century. The work argues for the importance of agriculture as a foundation for societal development and personal happiness, emphasizing the moral and practical benefits of rural life. It emerges as a reflection on Castilho's thoughts during a period of personal and national uncertainty, aiming to inspire a rekindling of interest in agricultural practices among the Portuguese populace. At the start of "Felicidade pela Agricultura," the author introduces the theme of rural life and its benefits, positioning agriculture as vital to individual prosperity and national well-being. Castilho shares autobiographical elements, highlighting his experiences and aspirations to educate his children amid a longing for a more meaningful existence. He passionately argues that a society that neglects its agricultural roots undermines its foundation, suggesting that reconnecting with the land can lead to true happiness and fulfillment. Through a combination of personal narrative and philosophical inquiry, he sets the stage for advocating a resurgence of agrarian values. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
