ABSTRACT
We have already discussed the conditions that give rise to pleasant and unpleasant feeling. All successful or prosperous striving, we found, makes for pleasant feeling; all thwarted or baffled striving, all failure, makes for unpleasant feeling; and the complex feelings (alternatively called ‘derived emotions’) are predominantly pleasant (or unpleasant) according to the balance of success (or failure) of the complex tendencies at work in us at any given moment.
