A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

Présentation de l'éditeur

To the ordinary thinker this kind of knowledge presents nothing that will immediately excite ordinary pleasurable sensation ;he perceives that the study of it would be irksome ;and he evades the trouble that the study of it would cost him by the self-flattering, lying plea of its inutility. To him whose cranium is becoming the case of hardened forms of spurious knowledge, that philosophic truth which is indispensable to the formation even of the loftiest order of human intelligence, is to him, the ordinary thinker, unnecessary. In vain you verify for him by means of his daily experience, as a caution-light, the Greek thesis God gives nothing without labour The slug gard says the royal Hebrew philosopher, is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.
