Omar Khayyam and the transcience of life

Omar Khayyam and the transcience of life. Carus, Paul. The Open Court, XXVII (nr. 11) (1913) 690 (November), pp. 680–682

The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam in Edward Fitzgerald’s translation made a deep impression upon the literary circles of all English-speaking nations, and no wonder, for they present a great truth which is not so much an expression of agnosticism as a description of the transiency of life. The same truth has been stated in various forms again and again by thinkers of almost all periods and nations of the world. The difference in the statements, however, is not due to a disagreement as to the nature of facts, but to the difference in attitude of different people.

Summary:
The article describes the interpretation of the works of Umar Khayyam and their philosophical concepts. Khayyam attracted the attention of all as a person who did not follow any of the various categories of his time with his whole being, and who had an independent opinion and position. On the other hand, he seems to have been a more cautious man. After all, not everyone was able to live long in a very delicate and complex period and avoid severe conflicts.
