Mistakes of Educated Men (1862)

""Mistakes of Educated Men"" is a book written by John Seely Hart and published in 1862. The book is a critique of the education system of the time and the mistakes that educated men made in their thinking and decision-making. Hart argues that the emphasis on memorization and rote learning in education leads to a lack of critical thinking and independent thought. He also criticizes the narrow focus of education, which he believes neglects important subjects such as ethics and philosophy. Hart suggests that education should be more holistic and should aim to develop the whole person, rather than just imparting knowledge. The book is a thought-provoking and insightful critique of the education system of the time and remains relevant today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
