ABSTRACT
This chapter mean to make a definite break in the course of the argument, and to pass from the analysis of moral conceptions to the psychology of moral agency. The chapter discusses the topic generally; and its two successors will deal with more special problems, also in main psychological. It is the name, not only for judgments of good and evil, but also for all the emotions, feelings, and sentiments which have to do with moral action, and for that in us which commands and controls in the service of what we believe to be good. The course that minded to pursue will be vindicated by the peculiar significance of the subjects selected for treatment, and by their preponderant relevance to the points in moral theory which are, in reality, the critical ones. The chapter proposes to follow out some of the psychological implications of our analysis, with the object, more particularly, of testing the psychological possibility of our opinions.
