Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge (original) (raw)

About DBpedia

The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge (SDUK) was founded in London in 1826, mainly at the instigation of Whig MP Henry Brougham, with the object of publishing information to people who were unable to obtain formal teaching or who preferred self-education. It was a largely Whig organisation, and published inexpensive texts intended to adapt scientific and similarly high-minded material for the rapidly-expanding reading public over twenty years until it was disbanded in 1846.

dbo:abstract Die Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge (auch SDUK), gegründet 1826, war eine Organisation der britischen Whig-Partei, London, welche preiswerte Texte mit der Zielsetzung publizierte, wissenschaftliche und hochwertige Materialien für die sich rapide alphabetisierende und umfassender lesende Bevölkerung zur Verfügung zu stellen. Ihre Gründung wurde vor allem von Henry Peter Brougham, 1. Baron Brougham and Vaux mit dem Ziel vorangetrieben, eine Bildungsmöglichkeit für Menschen zu schaffen, die zu formalen Bildungseinrichtungen keinen Zugang finden konnten oder autodidaktisches Lernen bevorzugten.

Se fundó sobre todo a iniciativa de Henry David Thoreau a fin de publicar información para todas aquellas personas que no tenían posibilidades de recibir educación formal o que preferían ser autodidactas. Algunas fuentes de la época la denominaban por sus iniciales SDUK. En los Estados Unidos se fundó, por la misma fecha, un grupo con el mismo nombre, como parte del . Su división en Boston fomentó la lectura a través de oradores de la talla de Ralph Waldo Emerson, y se mantuvo activa de 1829 a 1947.​ Henry David Thoreau menciona a la Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge en su ensayo «Walking».​ (es) The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge (SDUK) was founded in London in 1826, mainly at the instigation of Whig MP Henry Brougham, with the object of publishing information to people who were unable to obtain formal teaching or who preferred self-education.
