Publisher's Synopsis
""On Intelligence, Part 1"" is a philosophical treatise written by French philosopher Hippolyte Adolphe Taine in 1871. The book explores the nature of human intelligence, examining the various factors that contribute to its development and function. Taine argues that intelligence is not solely the result of innate abilities or genetic predisposition, but rather is shaped by a complex interplay of environmental and cultural factors. Drawing on insights from psychology, sociology, and biology, Taine offers a nuanced and multifaceted view of intelligence that challenges many traditional assumptions about the nature of human cognition. The book is a seminal work in the field of intellectual history and remains a valuable resource for scholars and students interested in the philosophy of mind and the nature of human intelligence.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
