Présentation de l'éditeur
For some years the writer has been studying pugnacity in men and in animals, for its immediate importance in psychology and because here lie the roots of war, and help in regard to its control. The psychology of religion has also been long of interest to him. While busied thus, an invitation was accepted to deliver the Taylor Lectures at the Divinity School of Yale University, and to present some considerations of anger where it comes close to conduct and religion. The writer is more indebted than he can well express, to those who so generously gave him this opportunity, and especially to Dean C. R. Brown and many others for their personal encouragement and criticism when the lectures were delivered. The present account, however, goes far beyond what was possible in even the generous time there offered, making the whole perhaps more worthy of its important theme. It is hoped that the explanation of conscience, and of the origins of religion, and particularly of monotheism has been carried a firm step farther than hitherto, and that interest will be found in the novel grouping of the great faiths with respect to wrath. What is here said of war should be counted as but preliminary and as part of a larger plan for its psychology. A method employed in the writers Psychology of the Religious Life has here again been used, whereby the spirit of the great religions is drawn from their sacred writings.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public.

The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue.
