A Discourse On Ancient And Modern Learning is a book written by Joseph Addison and originally published in 1739. The book is a collection of essays that explore the differences between ancient and modern learning. Addison argues that ancient learning, which includes the study of classical literature and philosophy, is superior to modern learning, which he believes is too focused on science and technology. He also discusses the importance of education and the role of the teacher in shaping the minds of students. Throughout the book, Addison uses examples from history and literature to support his arguments and provide insight into the nature of human knowledge and understanding. A Discourse On Ancient And Modern Learning is a thought-provoking work that continues to be studied and debated by scholars today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
