Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Limits of Exact Science as Applied to History: An Inaugural Lecture, Delivered Before the University of Cambridge
IT is with a feeling of awe, I had almost said of fear, that I find myself in this place, upon this errand. The responsibility of a teacher of History in Cambridge is in itself very heavy: but doubly heavy in the case of one who sees among his audience many men as fit, it may be some more fit, to fill this Chair: and again, more heavy still, when one succeeds a man whose learning, like his virtues, I can never hope to equal.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the idea that human history cannot be described by exact scientific laws, as the author argues that human behavior is too unpredictable and influenced by factors beyond our control. In the excerpt, the author draws on history, economics, and morality to support their claim. The author explores the role of great individuals in shaping events, as well as the unintended consequences of inventions and discoveries. The book also questions the idea of progress, suggesting that human nature is more complex and contradictory than we often assume. Ultimately, the author argues that a true understanding of history requires us to consider both the material and the moral dimensions of human existence. 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: 9781334432422_0
