ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the processes of organization of intellect in artificial detachment from character, while recognizing that the intellect, or cognitive organization, is essentially the instrument of our purposes that it is brought into play in the service of our desires, the driving forces of the organism. The units of character are the sentiments or complexes. A sentiment involves an individual tendency to experience certain emotions and desires in relation to some particular object. Beside love and hatred, we must notice two other great types of personal sentiment, namely, contempt and respect. In respect not only of the self proper, but also of all the many objects that become "included in the larger self" or, more exactly, all the objects to which the sentiment of self-regard is extended, we are apt to be very sensitive to the collective voice of society, of the group, of public opinion, however expressed.
