Discourses by Charles John Perry is a collection of lectures and essays written by the author and originally published in 1884. Perry was a prominent philosopher and educator in the late 19th century, and this book reflects his views on a wide range of topics related to education, morality, and religion.The book is divided into three parts, each containing several discourses. The first part focuses on education and includes lectures on the importance of a liberal education, the role of the teacher, and the value of scientific knowledge. Perry argues that education should be focused on developing the whole person, rather than just imparting knowledge.The second part of the book deals with morality, and includes essays on topics such as the nature of moral obligation, the relationship between morality and religion, and the role of conscience in moral decision-making. Perry argues that morality is not simply a matter of following rules, but is instead a complex and nuanced concept that requires careful consideration of individual circumstances.The final part of the book is devoted to religion, and includes essays on topics such as the nature of faith, the relationship between religion and science, and the role of religion in society. Perry argues that religion is an important part of human life, but cautions against dogmatism and emphasizes the importance of individual freedom in matters of faith.Overall, Discourses by Charles John Perry is a thought-provoking and insightful collection of essays that offers a unique perspective on some of the most important issues of the late 19th century. It remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of philosophy and education.Delivered In Hope Street Church, Liver Pool.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
