The Limits Of Exact Science As Applied To History: An Inaugural Lecture (1860) is a book written by Charles Kingsley. The book is a lecture that was delivered by Kingsley in 1860, in which he discusses the limitations of applying exact science to the study of history. Kingsley argues that while exact science has made great strides in understanding the physical world, it is not suitable for studying the complexities of human behavior and society. He suggests that historians must rely on a combination of empirical evidence, intuition, and imagination to fully understand the past. The book provides a thought-provoking analysis of the limitations of scientific inquiry and the challenges of studying history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of science and history, as well as the philosophy of history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
