Description

Every systematic science, the humblest and the noblest alike, seems to admit of two distinct kinds of proficiency; one of which may be properly called scientific knowledge of the subject, while the other is a kind of educational acquaintance with it. For an educated man should be able to form a fair off-hand judgement as to the goodness or badness of the method used by a professor in his exposition. To be educated is in fact to be able to do this; and even the man of universal education we deem to be such in virtue of his having this ability.

Author

Aristotle was an influential philosopher and polymath who lived in Ancient Greece. He was a student of Plato and is widely regarded as one of the most important thinkers in history, pioneering the fields of aesthetics, ethics, metaphysics, politics, and science. His works were instrumental in the development of Western thought and have been a major source of inspiration throughout the ages.
