Publisher's Synopsis
Humanics is a philosophical treatise written by Thomas Wharton Collins and first published in 1860. The book explores the concept of human nature and the role of education in shaping and developing it. Collins argues that human nature is inherently good and that education should focus on developing the intellectual, moral, and physical capacities of individuals in order to foster their full potential. He also emphasizes the importance of cultivating a sense of responsibility and social consciousness in individuals, and advocates for the creation of a more just and equitable society. The book is divided into three parts, with the first part examining the nature of human beings, the second part exploring the principles of education, and the third part discussing the application of these principles to society at large. Collins draws on a wide range of sources, including classical philosophy, religious texts, and contemporary scientific research, to support his arguments. Humanics is considered a seminal work in the field of education and continues to be studied and debated by scholars today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
