Science and Humanity: Or A Plea For The Superiority Of Spirit Over Matter is a book written by Noah Porter in 1872. The book explores the relationship between science and humanity, arguing that while science is important, it is ultimately the human spirit that is superior to matter. Porter examines the ways in which science has advanced human knowledge and understanding, but also warns against the dangers of placing too much emphasis on materialism and neglecting the spiritual aspects of life. He argues that the pursuit of knowledge must be balanced with a recognition of the importance of morality, ethics, and spirituality. The book is a thoughtful and thought-provoking exploration of the role of science in human society, and a call for a more holistic approach to understanding the world around us.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
