Synopsis

Truth and Error: Or The Science of Intellection is a philosophical treatise written by John Wesley Powell and published in 1898. The book explores the nature of truth and error in human thought and how they relate to the process of intellection or mental activity.Powell argues that the pursuit of truth is a fundamental human endeavor and that the ability to distinguish truth from error is essential to our ability to reason and make sound judgments. He examines the various ways in which we acquire knowledge, including through sense perception, intuition, and reasoning, and discusses the limitations and potential pitfalls of each.The book also delves into the role of language and communication in shaping our understanding of reality, and how cultural and social factors can influence our perceptions of truth and error. Powell emphasizes the importance of critical thinking and the need to constantly question and re-evaluate our beliefs and assumptions.Throughout the book, Powell draws on examples from science, religion, and philosophy to illustrate his points and provide a comprehensive overview of the science of intellection. Written in a clear and accessible style, Truth and Error remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the nature of knowledge and the pursuit of truth.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
