ABSTRACT
The total of the sensations, together with the 'judgment' of incapacity for the task, constitute precisely the emotion called discouragement. The emotion of anger may at first sight appear more difficult to analyse. Overvaluation of the lost object, as just remarked, seems to be a constant feature of anger consequential upon the loss of a concrete object. This can also be observed in cases where the loss is of a subtler nature. As a consequence of the investing the object of emotion with all possible qualities or traits of the type it represents, and with the maximum intensity of these qualities, the object comes to represent all individuals of the same type. In emotional thinking, there is a confusion of the individual with the class, so that each individual or element belonging to a given class contains in itself all the other elements which also satisfy the propositional function of the class, and this applies to every degree or magnitude.
