First published in 1952, Man, Creator or Destroyer makes clear that mankind is preeminent both as a creator and as a destroyer. And we are doomed unless creative man can master destructive man. But how gain this mystery? How strengthen the one and weaken the other? This and other vital questions are answered clearly for the general reader interested in creative work, from art and science to crime-prevention and international statecraft. The first part is concerned with man’s creative power which distinguishes him from all else on earth and suggests that man is much more than a machine or an animal. In the second part attention moves to man’s destructive power and studies his inclination to obstruct and shatter his own constructive work. The book concludes with an examination of the ways in which the creative power can gain the mastery.

First published in 1917, Theophrastus and the Greek Physiological Psychology Before Aristotle is on the history of ancient Greek physiological psychology. It includes the author’s essays on Theophrastus and his writings on sense perception; the original Greek text and his own translation of On the Senses, which had not previously been translated in full into English. This book will be of interest to students of medicine, psychology and philosophy.

First published in 1923, Anger presents some considerations of anger where it comes close to conduct and religion. It is hoped that the explanation of conscience, and of the origins of religion, and particularly of monotheism has been carried a firm step farther than hitherto, and that interest will be found in the novel grouping of the great faiths with respect to wrath. The spirit of the great religions is drawn from their sacred writings. This book will be of interest to students of philosophy and religion.
