Publisher's Synopsis
""An Essay On The Evils Of Popular Ignorance"" is a thought-provoking book written by John Foster. It delves into the negative effects of widespread ignorance among the general population. The author argues that ignorance leads to a lack of critical thinking, poor decision-making, and a susceptibility to manipulation by those in power. Foster also explores the impact of ignorance on society, including the perpetuation of social inequalities and the hindrance of progress. Through his writing, he advocates for education as a means of combating ignorance and empowering individuals to make informed choices. Overall, ""An Essay On The Evils Of Popular Ignorance"" is a compelling read that highlights the importance of knowledge and critical thinking in shaping a better future for all.Even that portion of beneficial effect which actually has resulted from this co-operation of new forces, has served to make a more obvious exposure of the unhappiness and offensiveness of what is still the condition of the far greater part of our population; as a dreary waste is made, to give a more sensible impression how dreary it is, by the little inroads of cultivation and beauty in its hollows, and the faint advances of an unwonted green upon its borders. The degradation of the main body of the lower classes is exposed by a comparison with the small reclaimed portion within those classes themselves.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
