The Crime of Credulity is a book written by Herbert N. Casson that delves into the dangers of blindly believing in false claims and superstitions. The author argues that being too gullible can lead to serious consequences, such as falling victim to fraudsters or being misled by propaganda. Casson provides real-life examples of individuals and groups who have suffered due to their lack of critical thinking skills, and offers practical advice on how to avoid falling prey to deception. The book also explores the psychological and social factors that contribute to credulity, and discusses the role of education in promoting rational thinking. Overall, The Crime of Credulity is a thought-provoking and informative read that encourages readers to question their beliefs and exercise caution when faced with dubious claims.1901. This book is an attempt to draw a line sharply between rationalism and superstition. It attempts to point out and critically examine certain mystical tendencies which should have no place in our practical, level-headed American civilization. The author's conclusions have come from a study of mystical books and magazines, and eight years of investigation of the effects of mysticism on the mind and character.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
