Development: What It Can Do And What It Cannot Do

By James McCosh

Book Overview

""Development: What It Can Do And What It Cannot Do"" is a book written by James McCosh, an influential Scottish philosopher and theologian of the 19th century. The book explores the concept of development, its possibilities, and its limitations. McCosh argues that development is a complex process that involves both physical and mental growth, and that it can lead to positive outcomes such as progress and enlightenment. However, he also cautions that development has its limits and cannot solve all of humanity's problems. McCosh emphasizes the importance of individual responsibility and moral character in achieving true development, and he offers insights into the role of education, religion, and social institutions in fostering human progress. Overall, ""Development: What It Can Do And What It Cannot Do"" is a thought-provoking work that challenges readers to consider the nature and potential of human development in a nuanced and critical way.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.
