Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book details the intellectual and moral decline of idiots who are left to their own devices. The author argues that this decline is due to the neglect of their higher faculties, and that with proper training, these faculties can be developed to a considerable extent. The author begins by describing the condition of idiots in the United States in the mid-19th century. He notes that they are often treated with cruelty and neglect, and that they are often left to live in filth and squalor. He argues that this treatment is not only inhumane, but also counterproductive, as it only serves to worsen their condition. The author then proposes a plan for the education and training of idiots. He argues that this training should focus on developing their intellectual and moral faculties, and that it should be done in a humane and supportive environment. He believes that with proper training, idiots can be taught to live productive and fulfilling lives. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the care and treatment of people with intellectual disabilities. It is also a powerful reminder of the importance of providing all people with the opportunity to reach their full potential.
