Psychology of the Moral Self: With an Essay from The Philosophy of the Moral Feelings by John Abercrombie

By Bernhard Bosanquet

Bernard Bosanquet FBA (1848-1923) was an English political theorist and philosopher who had a significant influence on social and political policy during the turn of the twentieth century. Bosanquet's work was also seminal, inspiring--and, later, inspiring criticism from--numerous notable thinks of the time, including Bertrand Russell and William James. First published in 1897, "Psychology of the Moral Self" contains a series of Bosanquet's lectures on the subject of moral philosophy and the nature of the workings of the mind, exploring how modern psychological conceptions relate to ethical problems. Contents include: "Lecture I: The Psychological Point of View", "Lecture II: General Nature of Psychical Events", "Lecture III: Cognition--The Growth of Consciousness", "Lecture IV: The Organisation of Intelligence", "Lecture V: Self-Consciousness", "Lecture VI: Feeling", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with an introductory essay from John Abercrombie's "The Philosophy of the Moral Feelings".
