Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Lecture on the Use and Abuse of Emulation as a Motive to Study: Delivered Before the Essex County Association of Teachers, at Newburyport, April 9, 1852 "Is it right to appeal to Emulation as a motive to study?" With what earnestness and ability has this question been debated in our country for the last quarter of a century; and yet with how little apparent approach towards a satisfactory decision. There are many and seemingly powerful arguments, on both sides; but unfortunately, as in many other controversies, these arguments, while very convincing to those who employ them, have little influence with the other side, except to suggest counter-arguments claiming equal or even greater authority. If A., in advocating the use of emulation, urges, as an irresistible argument, that emulation is an essential and universal part of human nature, and therefore cannot be a wrong principle of action; his opponent B. instantly replies, that it is, alas, a universal part of man´s present nature, but a part which came in at the fall, and therefore must be a wrong principle of action; and triumphantly quotes, in confirmation of this view, from the well-known passage in Galatians, in which the apostle classes "emulations" among the "works of the flesh," and solemnly denounces exclusion from "the kingdom of God" upon all them "which do such things." (Gal. v. 20.) "Not so fast, friend B.," rejoins A., "for the apostle himself appealed to emulation, and even regarded it as one means of salvation. ´If by any means,´ he writes in his Epistle to the Romans, ´I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.´ About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
