Publisher's Synopsis
The Evolution of Knowledge is a book written by George Shann in 1922. The book explores the evolution of human knowledge from the earliest times to the present day. Shann argues that knowledge has evolved gradually over time, with each generation building on the discoveries of the previous one. He discusses the role of language, writing, and technology in the development of knowledge, as well as the influence of religion, philosophy, and science. The book also examines the impact of social and political factors on the growth of knowledge, including the rise of universities, the development of printing, and the growth of the scientific method. Shann's work provides a comprehensive overview of the history of knowledge, and offers insights into the ways in which human understanding has evolved over time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
