The Advance Of Science: And Perfectibility Of Its Professors

By John H. Goldsmith

Book Overview

The Advance of Science: And Perfectibility of Its Professors is a book written by John H. Goldsmith in 1844. The book explores the progress of science and the role of its practitioners in advancing knowledge and improving the human condition. Goldsmith argues that science is a noble pursuit that can lead to great benefits for humanity, but that its practitioners must be committed to the highest standards of excellence and integrity in order to achieve these goals.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the advance of science. Goldsmith begins by discussing the history of science and its early practitioners, and then moves on to explore the various fields of science and their contributions to human knowledge. He also discusses the challenges that scientists face in their work, including the need for funding and the pressure to produce results quickly.One of the key themes of the book is the idea of perfectibility, or the belief that science can always be improved and that its practitioners can always strive to do better. Goldsmith argues that this perfectibility is essential to the progress of science, and that scientists must be willing to learn from their mistakes and constantly seek new ways to improve their work.Overall, The Advance of Science: And Perfectibility of Its Professors is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the history and future of science. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of science, the role of scientists in society, and the potential of science to improve the human condition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
