More about the book

Focusing on common misconceptions of the 17th century, this volume by Sir Thomas Browne is divided into four sections addressing erroneous beliefs in natural phenomena, medical practices, historical accounts, and linguistic philosophy. Browne critiques widely held myths, such as the existence of mermaids and the notion of flat earth, using his expertise in science and philosophy to advocate for a rational understanding of the world. This work not only reflects the intellectual climate of its time but also showcases Browne's critical thinking and scholarly depth.
