Cajal\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the pen of Spanish Nobel Laureate, Santiago Ram n y Cajal (1852-1934), the visionary of science nicknamed \"Don Quixote of the Microscope,\" comes this essay, based on a 1905 lecture during the celebrations that marked the tricentennial of the \"Ingenioso hidalgo de La Mancha.\" It is a mighty knock and a romantic fustigator against the awkward materialism that has been reigning in modern times. The text bespeaks the Cajalian spirit in the best possible manner, the deep love for science, and a unique vision of Spanish culture. Further, it offers a new outlook on Cervantes and his hero, highly praised later by educators. In Cajal's view, Don Quixote is not a madman, but a gentleman with solid ideas who consciously chose to be madly loyal to his convictions and duties; the hidalgo is an ideal of humanity, magnificence and justice; those values, instead of being signs of illness, must always be involved in any true science.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 56\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.13 x 7.99 x 5.24 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 22, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42716452290623,"sku":"9781514247945","price":7.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/0912ff015dca70e75fbab08e72c8b775.webp?v=1765074955","url":"https:\/\/dhl-adrianne.myshopify.com\/products\/the-psychology-of-don-quixote-and-the-quixotic-ideal-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
