More about the book
Challenging the notion of natural equality, the author argues that differences among individuals stem from various life experiences rather than inherent traits. Drawing from observations in nurseries, schools, and professional environments, the text emphasizes that factors like upbringing and education play a crucial role in shaping character and abilities. This perspective critiques the simplistic view that moral effort alone can account for disparities among people, advocating for a more nuanced understanding of human development.
