The Sciences Of Nature Versus The Science Of Man: A Plea For The Science Of Man (1871)

By Noah Porter

Book Overview

""The Sciences of Nature Versus the Science of Man: A Plea for the Science of Man"" is a thought-provoking book by Noah Porter, published in 1871. The book is a critique of the prevailing scientific discourse of the time, which focused solely on the natural sciences and neglected the study of humanity and society. Porter argues that the study of human nature, behavior, and society is just as important as the study of the natural world. He believes that the science of man should be treated as a separate and distinct discipline, with its own methods and theories. Throughout the book, Porter examines the shortcomings of the natural sciences in understanding human behavior and society. He also discusses the potential benefits of a more comprehensive approach to science, one that includes the study of humanity. ""The Sciences of Nature Versus the Science of Man"" is a landmark work in the history of science and sociology. It is a powerful argument for the importance of studying human behavior and society, and a call to action for scholars and scientists to expand their focus beyond the natural world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
