The Higher Usefulness Of Science And Other Essays is a collection of essays written by William Emerson Ritter, an American biologist and professor. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the role of science in society, the philosophy of science, and the importance of education. Ritter argues that science has the potential to improve the lives of individuals and society as a whole, but that this potential is often unrealized due to societal and cultural barriers. He also explores the relationship between science and religion, and the implications of scientific discoveries for our understanding of the world. The essays are written in a clear and accessible style, making them suitable for both academic and general readers. Overall, The Higher Usefulness Of Science And Other Essays is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the value of science in our lives.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Rese�a del editor

That purpose was to bring to the attention of the public to educated, thoughtful people first, then afterwards to the intelligent rank and file a certain way of looking upon the living world generally, and man particularly, which I believe to be vital to human welfare. The significance of the scientific point of view which underlies these essays has been gradually forcing itself upon my mind through many years, as, started from and impelled by purely scientific motives in the first instance, the standpoint itself has slowly taken shape. Now, the worldstruggle at arms, in which our country has inevitably become fully involved, is upon us and convinces me more than ever of the mighty part point of view, theory, philosophy call it what you wih1 plays in the affairs of civilized mankind.
