Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

""Philistine and Genius"" is a book written by Boris Sidis that explores the nature of genius and the challenges that it poses to society. The book argues that geniuses are often misunderstood and marginalized by society, which tends to favor conformity and mediocrity. Sidis uses examples from history and literature to illustrate the struggles that geniuses have faced throughout the ages, from Galileo to Nietzsche. He also examines the psychological and neurological characteristics that distinguish geniuses from the rest of the population, such as heightened sensitivity, creativity, and intuition. The book is both a celebration of genius and a critique of the social structures that limit its expression. It is a thought-provoking read for anyone interested in the intersection of creativity, psychology, and society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
