Philistine and Genius is a book written by Boris Sidis, a renowned psychologist and philosopher. The book is a collection of essays that explore the dichotomy between the philistine and the genius in society. Sidis argues that the philistine represents the average person who is content with the status quo and lacks intellectual curiosity, while the genius is the exceptional individual who strives for knowledge and creativity. The essays in the book cover a range of topics, including the nature of genius, the role of education in fostering creativity, and the relationship between genius and society. Sidis also examines the lives of famous geniuses such as Leonardo da Vinci, Isaac Newton, and Albert Einstein, and provides insights into their unique thought processes and contributions to society. Overall, Philistine and Genius is a thought-provoking book that challenges readers to consider the value of intellectual curiosity and the role of the individual in shaping society. Sidis' writing is accessible and engaging, making it a great read for anyone interested in psychology, philosophy, or the history of ideas.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
