Origin and Growth of the Moral Instinct

Bag om Origin and Growth of the Moral Instinct

1898. This edition contains both Volumes I and II of this work. The following is an excerpt from a review of this book that appeared in the journal, Nature, at the time of its publication: Mr. Sutherland's work is thoroughly Darwinian, being based on a huge mass of observations which he has selected without apparent bias, marshaled well, and handled judiciously. Few books written since Darwin's time on the evolution of the human mind, are so thorough and comprehensive and well deserving of study. Its chief merit lies in the solid treatment by which the writer confirms and extends the masterly sketch drawn by Darwin in the fourth and fifth chapters of his Descent of Man, but it is also extremely original in many particulars; and though somewhat diffuse here and there, is interesting throughout...The main argument and the general results of his inquiry may be stated in a few words, but the fulness of their significance will be imperfectly realized without carefully reading the whole of his book. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
