The Limits of Exact Science as Applied to History: An Inaugural Lecture, Delivered Before the University of Cambridge (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book explores the idea that human history cannot be described by exact scientific laws, as the author argues that human behavior is too unpredictable and influenced by factors beyond our control. In the excerpt, the author draws on history, economics, and morality to support their claim. The author explores the role of great individuals in shaping events, as well as the unintended consequences of inventions and discoveries. The book also questions the idea of progress, suggesting that human nature is more complex and contradictory than we often assume. Ultimately, the author argues that a true understanding of history requires us to consider both the material and the moral dimensions of human existence.
