Development: What It Can Do And What It Cannot Do is a book written by James McCosh, a Scottish philosopher and theologian. Published in 1882, the book explores the concept of development in various aspects of life, including biology, psychology, and philosophy. McCosh argues that development is a natural process that can bring about positive changes in individuals and society as a whole. He discusses the role of education, religion, and culture in promoting development and improving the human condition. However, McCosh also acknowledges the limitations of development. He warns against the belief that development can solve all problems or bring about utopia. He argues that there are inherent limitations to human nature and that development cannot completely eradicate evil or suffering. Overall, Development: What It Can Do And What It Cannot Do is a thought-provoking exploration of the possibilities and limitations of development in various aspects of life. It offers insights into the nature of human progress and the challenges that come with it.Philosophic Series: No. III.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
