Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book eloquently argues that the diffusion of knowledge through society would bring about a reduction in social ills. The author examines how widespread ignorance in matters of science and health has historically led to superstition, fear, and even violence. Using examples drawn from the history of science, the author shows that incorrect ideas and beliefs are often the consequences of ignorance about the natural world, and that increasing scientific knowledge can dispel these misconceptions. The author also argues that a more knowledgeable populace would be less susceptible to harmful behaviors such as excessive drinking, and more likely to engage in intellectual and scientific pursuits. Ultimately, the book presents a convincing case for the transformative power of knowledge in creating a more humane and enlightened society.
