Superstition is a book written by Robert G. Ingersoll, a well-known American lawyer, orator, and politician, in which he explores the nature and origins of superstition. In this book, Ingersoll argues that superstition is a product of ignorance and fear, and that it has no basis in reality. He examines various superstitions from around the world, including those related to religion, magic, and witchcraft, and shows how they are often used to control and manipulate people. Ingersoll also discusses the harmful effects of superstition on society, such as the persecution of innocent people accused of witchcraft, and the suppression of scientific inquiry. He concludes that the only way to overcome superstition is through education and reason, and that we must always be vigilant against those who seek to exploit our fears and ignorance for their own purposes. Superstition is a thought-provoking and insightful book that challenges readers to think critically about their beliefs and the world around them.THIS 64 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Works of Robert G.
