Excerpt from Exact Philosophy: Books First and Second
The first indisposition of the general or national mind which a philosophical writer has to anticipate and provide against is, an indisposition towards the reading even, to say nothing of the study, of philosophic truth, whatever may be its degree of practical value. To the ordinary thinker this kind of knowledge presents nothing that will immediately excite ordinary pleasurable sensation; he perceives that the study of it would be irksome; and he evades the trouble that the study of it would cost him by the self-flattering, lying plea of its inutility. To him whose cranium is becoming the case of hardened forms of spurious knowledge, that philosophic truth which is indispensable to the formation even of the loftiest order of human intelligence, is to him, the ordinary thinker, unnecessary.
In vain you verify for him by means of his daily experience, as a caution-light, the Greek thesis - "God gives nothing without labour." "The sluggard," says the royal Hebrew philosopher, "is wiser "in his own conceit than seven men that can render "a reason."

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book takes aim at a persistent problem in the history of human thought: the tendency to project human attributes onto the natural world. The author argues that this tendency, rooted in a pre-scientific understanding of the universe, has contaminated the very foundations of science. Drawing from historical examples, the author analyzes how the use of misleading terms like "action," "effort," and "power" when describing natural phenomena creates a false impression of intentionality and purpose in the non-human world. Through a detailed examination of scientific texts and historical writings, the author exposes the logical inconsistencies inherent in this form of anthropomorphism. The book challenges the reader to critically examine the way we conceptualize nature and to embrace a more rigorous, logical approach to understanding the world. It ultimately reveals the significance of embracing a truly scientific approach to studying both the natural world and ourselves. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330391211_0
