By William Grisenthwaite

Book Overview

""On Genius: In Which It Is Attempted To Be Proved, That There Is No Mental Distinction Among Mankind"" is a book written by William Grisenthwaite in 1830. The book challenges the common belief that some individuals are born with innate intellectual abilities, while others are not. Grisenthwaite argues that there is no mental distinction among mankind and that genius is simply the result of hard work and education. He supports his argument with examples from history, literature, and science, and also critiques the concept of race-based intelligence. The book is a thought-provoking read that challenges traditional notions of intelligence and the nature of genius.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
