Accumulism: A Philosophy of Learning - Paperback

by Stanley R. Silver (Author)

This is a philosophy book. It presents a philosophy of learning, or, more accurately, a philosophy of subjective learning, which is called accumulism. Accumulism neither solves nor explains. Rather it is a quiver of arrows; a chest of tools; a collection of wisdom and observations of human nature that can be used (or not) to learn a bit faster. The book will achieve its aim if each reader takes away but one new learning insight.
