Clifford argues that belief must always rest on evidence; he famously contends that it is wrong always, everywhere, and for anyone to believe anything upon insufficient evidence. He examines the nature of matter, the mind-body relationship, and the moral duties of scientists. Clifford also discusses the interplay of natural science and literature, stressing that science enriches human culture and responsibility. Throughout, he insists that skepticism, honesty, and intellectual integrity are essential for both personal morality and public progress.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBook details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e John Tyndall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback \u0026amp; Hardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 140\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gyan Books\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1901\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs Lectures and Essays available in paperback or hardcover?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes – \u003cem\u003eLectures and Essays\u003c\/em\u003e is available here in Paperback and Hardcover; pick the one you want from the options above.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat language is this edition in?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis edition is in English.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho wrote Lectures and Essays?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLectures and Essays is written by John Tyndall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow fast does Bookston ship?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eShipping is free on every order, with no minimum.
