By Kuklos and John Harris

Book Overview

Superstition and Reasonable Belief is a philosophical work written by Kuklos in 1877. The book explores the concept of superstition and how it relates to reasonable belief. Kuklos argues that superstition is a form of irrational belief that is not based on evidence or reason, while reasonable belief is grounded in evidence and logical reasoning.The book is divided into two parts. The first part examines the nature of superstition and its relationship to religion, science, and philosophy. Kuklos argues that superstition is often based on fear and ignorance, and that it can lead to harmful beliefs and practices. He also explores the role of religion in promoting superstition and the need for scientific inquiry to combat it.The second part of the book focuses on reasonable belief and how it can be distinguished from superstition. Kuklos argues that reasonable belief is based on evidence and logical reasoning, and that it is essential for making informed decisions and understanding the world around us. He also discusses the limitations of reason and the importance of intuition and emotion in shaping our beliefs.Overall, Superstition and Reasonable Belief is a thought-provoking exploration of the nature of belief and the role of reason in guiding our understanding of the world. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in philosophy, religion, or science, and offers insights into the ways in which we can distinguish between superstition and reasonable belief.Including The Arrangement Of The Subject, As A Department Of Knowledge Belonging To Science.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
