Synopsis
Excerpt from Anger: Its Religious and Moral Significance
The lovers of intelligence therefore mistrust these strange elements of the mind, our instincts and emotions, discovering in them little but a brute inheritance, almost a dead hand of the past to hold us from what is distinctive of man, his life of reason. And Shall we not all feel some Spark of this jealous care for knowledge, ready to oppose those who prevent its free course? For there are many who are to-day content with vagary, content to be cut off from the main currents of thought, in part because of some strange arrest of curiosity but also be cause of some emotional check upon their power to observe, to think, to join in the age-long endeavor of science to see dispassionately into nature 'and the human mind. This salutary enthusiasm for the intellect has been of unconscious in?uence upon psychology in the past. Its treatises and its experiments in the laboratory have dwelt tirelessly on the senses and the cognitive powers; these have been its first love. But in later years a change has come. Although the processes of knowledge have not been abandoned, a new and lively interest has awakened in our life of emotion and of will. An eagerness, almost a fever is to be observed in this new movement, like the rush to some point where gold has been discovered, until the remote spot becomes populous, with claims staked out for miles. The tests of intelligence, centering in Binet's work, with their incalculable range of application, to gether with the activity in the psychology of learning, mean that workers are bent upon holding the old field of cognition, opening new veins, using new methods. But the instincts, the emotions, invite us more and more.
