Sinopsis
Excerpt from A Century of Intellectual Development
With the exception of the last three chapters, the contents of this volume appeared originally in 'the Edinburgh Evening N ews.' The interest which the articles created when they appeared in that newspaper leads me to believe that they will be found of considerable value in their per manent form. The chapter on Socialism has already appeared in the form of a pamphlet, which was published under the auspices of the Young Scots Society.
I have to thank the directors of 'the Edin burgh Evening News,' Limited, for their per mission to republish these articles.

Excerpt from A Century of Intellectual Development
In handling a complex subject like a Century's Intellectual Development, a historical student has two courses open to him. He may content himself with splitting his subject into sections, and dealing with each section in the spirit of a narrator pure and simple. He may, for instance, trace in detail the development of theology, science, philosophy, and literature, leaving to the reader the task of welding the various fragments into a coherent whole.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book traces intellectual evolution over the past century, starting with the French Revolution and its pivotal influence on scientific, philosophical, and artistic thought. The author argues that at its core is the idea of 'intellectual independence'â"the power of man to think for himself and question dogma. The book charts the rejection of religious and political orthodoxy, leading to a new era of Enlightenment, with writers such as Voltaire and Rousseau championing reason, and the Encyclopedists calling for scientific inquiry and social amelioration. The influence of scientists like Newton and Herschel in introducing the concept of universal physical laws, along with the discovery of the unity of substance through spectroscopy, is also discussed. The book concludes by considering how this period laid the groundwork for the coming century's intellectual and scientific endeavors. 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: 9781330713204_0
