Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from What I Believe and Why As Children we learn by being told. Our beliefs must be taken on the authority of parents and teachers. It is only with the access of years that reason develops far enough so that we seek the basis of accepted beliefs, that we confirm them or doubt or disbelieve. Many beliefs we have to take all our lives on the testimony of others. Travellers have told us of the city of Timbuktu, and we do not doubt its existence. We have seen it in the atlas, and that is enough. A hardy explorer has reached, or says he has, the South Pole, and we do not, or cannot, prove or disbelieve his claim, but we accept it. A multitude of other beliefs our own observation or reason confirms, and some it denies. Not all our beliefs accepted from i parents or teachers can we easily test in any concrete way with eyes and ears. They are beliefs or opinions relating to matters of political wisdom, of social welfare, of religious creed and duty. These we have inherited and are very likely to hold because inherited, without seeking to test them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
