Sinossi
Excerpt from Mr. Spencer's Unification of Knowledge
Thus, although the writer is fundamentally in sympathy with the goal of Mr. Spencer's attempt, and although he accepts the same at posteriori truths, he is nevertheless compelled to criticise adversely the ambitious claims of the system, with the faultiness of reasoning and general bad workmanship entailed by the supposed accomplish ment of the endeavour. Although it is important that established truths should be frankly accepted, however inharmonious with previous beliefs, it is equally important that imperfections of theory should be freely acknow ledged. The attempt to outrun the gradual growth of knowledge by filling in every hiatus with theoretical ex planations is a positive obstruction to the progress of science.

Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the grand ambition of unifying all knowledge under a single, overarching principle ââ â a concept central to philosophical discourse since the time of the ancient Greeks. The author, who shares the author's belief in the validity of the idea of evolution, takes issue with the author's framework for achieving this goal, arguing that the author's method relies on vague and mystical concepts rather than clearly defined and demonstrable principles. The book delves into the intricacies of the author's system, examining his various methods for achieving knowledge unification, including the use of physical, metaphysical, and supraphysical approaches, as well as symbolic representations. This exploration reveals, in the author's view, the fundamental limitations of the author's system, emphasizing that true unification of knowledge must rely on verifiable and tangible elements rather than speculative, mystical notions. The book offers a compelling critique of a seminal work of intellectual history, highlighting the ongoing challenges of achieving a unified understanding of the universe.
