Conscience & Fanaticism: An Essay on Moral Values
George Henry Lane Fox Pitt-Rivers
Where does conscience end and fanaticism begin? Pitt-Rivers probes the validity of moral judgments, the meaning of obligation, and the laws of suggestion that let crowds mistake feeling for truth. An essay on moral values written with a psychologist's suspicion of certainty. Uncomfortable, bracing reading for anyone who is sure they are right.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
