How To Lengthen Our Ears: An Enquiry Whether Learning From Books Does Not Lengthen The Ears Rather Than The Understanding (1917)

By Viscount Harberton

Book Overview

How To Lengthen Our Ears: An Enquiry Whether Learning From Books Does Not Lengthen The Ears Rather Than The Understanding is a book written by Harberton, Viscount and first published in 1917. The book explores the idea that reading and studying from books may not necessarily lead to a deeper understanding of the subject matter, but rather may simply ""lengthen"" one's ears, or increase one's ability to listen and absorb information. The author poses the question of whether there is a difference between true learning and simply accumulating knowledge without fully comprehending it. The book is a thought-provoking examination of the nature of learning and education, and is sure to inspire readers to consider their own approaches to knowledge acquisition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
