To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
. . . We must admit, however, that neither wild beasts nor any other creature except man is subject to anger : for while anger is the foe of reason, it nevertheless does not arise in any place where reason cannot dwell. " l Now whether our definition be broad or narrow, it should not be justified by verbal artifice. We must frame it differently according as our purpose is different. It is not wholly a question of truth. There is not one answer only that is true. There is not even one answer onl...y that is serviceable or fruitful. But the answer that we give is our theory of the emotion. For instance, our aim is to investigate the forces at the root of character, which include these primary emotional systems. There may be some animals so low in the scale of life, so immersed in sensation, as to be insusceptible to emotion as we know it, as a feeling with its own impulse and end, and its own thoughts, vague or definite. Yet such an animal may possibly manifest an aggressive behaviour to other animals, and this behaviour may be the result of an instinctive disposition.
