Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

""Reflections Upon Learning"" is a book written by an anonymous author who refers to himself as ""A Gentleman"" and was first published in 1714. The book explores the limitations of human learning and knowledge, arguing that it is insufficient to fully understand the world and our place in it. The author examines several areas of learning, including philosophy, science, and language, and shows how each falls short in providing a complete understanding of the world. The book argues that revelation, or divine knowledge, is necessary to supplement human learning and provide a more complete understanding of the world. The author draws on religious texts and teachings to support this argument and emphasizes the importance of faith in achieving true understanding.Throughout the book, the author uses a series of reflections and observations to illustrate his points, drawing on personal experiences and anecdotes to make his arguments more relatable. The writing style is formal and scholarly, with a focus on logical reasoning and persuasive argumentation.Overall, ""Reflections Upon Learning"" is a thought-provoking exploration of the limitations of human knowledge and the importance of faith and revelation in achieving a more complete understanding of the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
