Publisher's Synopsis
John Macmurray (1891-1976) was a moral philosopher and philosopher of religion. Underlying the lectures collected here is a conviction that the contrast habitually drawn between 'reason' and 'emotion' is false, leading to the erroneous conclusion that all emotional life is irrational and must remain so. The proper contrast, Macmurray stresses, lies between 'intellect' and 'emotion', while 'reason', as that which makes us human, expresses itself in both.
