Psychology of the Moral Self Paperback / softback
by Bernard Bosanquet
Part of the Cambridge Library Collection - Philosophy series
Paperback / softback
Description
After more than ten years teaching ancient Greek history and philosophy at University College, Oxford, the British philosopher and political theorist Bernard Bosanquet (1848–1923) resigned from his post to spend more time writing.
He was particularly interested in contemporary social theory, including the social ramifications of the growing field of psychology, and this book, published in 1897, is a collection of his lectures on this topic.
The ten lectures explore many aspects of psychology and its relationship to larger philosophical and ethical issues.
Bosanquet poses the question whether psychology takes a subjective point of view, while other sciences take an objective one.
He discusses classic psychological themes such as the ego, the soul, self-consciousness, emotion and feeling, and individual volition.
Bosanquet's observations in these concise essays offer the perspective of a leading nineteenth-century thinker on this growing and influential field of scientific and social inquiry.
