Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Argument to Errors of Thought: In Science, Religion and Social Life, and Their Evil Influences From Pre-Alphabetic Ages to the Present Day, With Particular Record to the Questions of the Hour and the Dangers of Modern Civilization In view of the fact that several volumes will be required to examine the career of Erring Thought in past and. present civilizations, it may not be amiss to preface the subject with a brief argument in order to indicate its drift and importance. This introductory sketch and the following volumes about to be published are written in the hope of elucidating the fact that many great evils in civilized life arise in errors of thought -in faulty and superficial ways of judging the causes of existing conditions and of reasoning from cause to consequence. The faulty work of the mind, and especially of the thinking faculties, develops itself into great popular delusions, which destroy social peace and welfare. Connected with this elucidation is the attempt to prove that the evils so arising cannot be averted save by correcting the erring ways of thinking into which modern methods of instruction lead the public mind. If errors of thought are at the root of growing evils, this root should be laid bare in order to make possible the eradication of the evil. If modern education disseminates errors of thought which promote the growth of evil in civilized life, or even if it only fails to prepare the public mind properly for the work of civilization, should its errors and shortcomings not be corrected? The errors of thought which deserve particular attention at the present time are those which are fostered in educational institutions, and which find their way into legislation and administration of social and national affairs. Intellectual development controls social development. The intellect is the superstructure of natural intelligence, and a product of that consciousness which can be vested in language. There is much in human consciousness, which cannot be so vested but which nevertheless plays an important part in civilized life.
