The Danger Of Superficial Knowledge

""The Danger Of Superficial Knowledge"" is a lecture delivered by James David Forbes in 1849 at the University of Edinburgh. The lecture serves as an introduction to the course of natural philosophy and aims to highlight the importance of a deep and thorough understanding of scientific concepts. Forbes argues that a surface-level understanding of science can lead to dangerous misconceptions and errors in judgment. He emphasizes the need for students to engage in critical thinking and to question assumptions in order to fully grasp the complexities of the natural world. This book is a thought-provoking exploration of the pitfalls of superficial knowledge and a call to action for students of science to strive for a more profound understanding of the subject.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
