Description
Henry Hazlitt wrote Thinking as a Science, issued in New York by E P Dutton and Company with copyright in nineteen sixteen. Eleven chapters fill the book. Chapter one is The Neglect of Thinking. Every man knows there are evils in the world which need setting right, Hazlitt opens. Every man has pretty definite ideas as to what these evils are, he adds. But to most men one evil in particular stands out vividly, he notes.
To the Socialist this evil is the capitalistic system, to the prohibitionist intemperance, to the feminist the subjection of women, he lists. To the clergyman it is the decline of religion, and to Andrew Carnegie it is war, he adds. Hazlitt own pet evil is the neglect of thinking itself. Later chapters treat thinking with method, concentration, prejudice and uncertainty, and debate. Self improvers get a clear, famed handbook on clear thought.
