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. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book brings to light the limits of viewing history through the lens of exact science, arguing for the importance of including morality and the human experience in historical analysis. The author argues that focusing solely on physical or economic laws ignores the role of human will, folly, and reason in shaping historical events. As such, the author advocates for a balanced approach to history that combines scientific methods with an understanding of the moral dimensions of human behavior.
