Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Study in the Psychology of Ethics
The first half of the book covers the same ground as the articles in The Philosophical Review.' The criticism of current theories of emotion has been revised, but has not been materially altered. The chapters on The Nature of Emotion and The Primary Emotions have been amended, enlarged, and largely rewritten. The second half of the book deals with the primary principles of action and with the ethical significance of results attained throughout. The discussion of the notion of Worth, which appears in the concluding chapter, embodies some of the results of an article on Natural Selection in Ethics which was published in 1901 in 'the Philosophical Review.'
