Item description from seller

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Apologia Diffidentis is a book written by W. Compton Leith and first published in 1908. The title translates to ''The Apology of the Distrustful'' and the book is a philosophical work that explores the nature of doubt and skepticism. Leith argues that doubt is not necessarily a negative quality, but rather an essential component of critical thinking and intellectual inquiry. He examines the role of doubt in various fields, including science, religion, and politics, and discusses the ways in which it can be both beneficial and detrimental to human understanding. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of doubt and skepticism. Leith begins by defining these terms and exploring their historical and cultural significance. He then goes on to discuss the ways in which doubt can be productive, such as in the pursuit of scientific knowledge or in the development of moral and ethical principles. Leith also examines the potential drawbacks of doubt, such as its tendency to lead to indecision and inaction. He argues that while doubt can be a useful tool, it must be balanced with a willingness to take risks and make decisions based on incomplete information. Throughout the book, Leith draws on a wide range of philosophical and literary sources, including the works of Descartes, Hume, and Nietzsche. He also includes numerous examples from history and contemporary society to illustrate his points. Overall, Apologia Diffidentis is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the nature of doubt and its role in human thought and behavior.This Book Is In English.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
