Beskrivelse af Reflections On The Decline Of Science In England And On Some Of Its Causes
Reflections On The Decline Of Science In England And On Some Of Its Causes is a book written by Charles Babbage, a prominent mathematician and inventor in the 19th century. The book discusses the state of science in England at the time, and explores the reasons behind what Babbage perceived as a decline in scientific progress in the country. Babbage argues that there are several factors contributing to the decline of science in England, including a lack of government support, a lack of interest and funding from wealthy individuals, and a lack of emphasis on practical applications of scientific knowledge. He also criticizes the education system for not adequately preparing students for scientific research and innovation. Throughout the book, Babbage provides examples of scientific discoveries and innovations made by other countries, particularly France, and contrasts them with the state of science in England. He also offers suggestions for how England could improve its scientific progress, including increasing funding for scientific research and education, and encouraging more practical applications of scientific knowledge. Overall, Reflections On The Decline Of Science In England And On Some Of Its Causes is a thought-provoking examination of the state of science in England in the 19th century, and offers insight into the challenges that faced scientists and innovators at the time.. It is therefore not unreasonable to suppose that some portion of the neglect of science in England, may be attributed to the system of education we pursue. A young man passes from our public schools to the universities, ignorant almost of the elements of every branch of useful knowledge.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
