Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Defence of Philosophic Doubt: Being an Essay on the Foundations of Belief ´As, to the religious, it will seem absurd to set forth any justification for Religion; so, to the scientific, it will seem absurd to defend Science. Yet to do the last is certainly as needful as to do the first´ Herbert Spencer ´A doctrine is first received as an intuitive truth, standing beyond all need of demonstration; then it becomes the object of rigid demonstration; afterwards the demonstration ceases to be conclusive, and is merely probable; and, finally, the effort is limited to demonstrating that there is no conclusive reason on the other side. In the later stages of belief, the show of demonstration is mere bluster, or is useful only to trip up an antagonist.´ Leslie Stephen About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
