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".
