Exact Philosophy: Books First and Second (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: 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. Seller Inventory # 9781330391211_0
