The Sciences of Nature Versus the Science of Man

The Sciences Of Nature Versus The Science Of Man: A Plea For The Science Of Man is a book written by Noah Porter in 1871. The book argues that while the sciences of nature, such as physics and chemistry, are important, they cannot fully explain the complexities of human behavior and society. Porter advocates for the development of a science of man, which would focus on the study of human nature, society, and culture. He argues that this science would be essential for understanding and solving social problems and improving the human condition. The book also provides a critique of the prevailing scientific theories of the time, such as Darwinism and materialism. Overall, The Sciences Of Nature Versus The Science Of Man is a thought-provoking work that challenges readers to consider the limitations of scientific knowledge and the importance of understanding human nature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
