""Emotion as the Basis of Civilization"" by John Hopkins Denison is a thought-provoking exploration of the role of emotions in shaping human civilization. Drawing on insights from psychology, sociology, and philosophy, Denison argues that emotions are not just individual experiences, but are fundamental to social interaction and the development of culture. He examines the ways in which emotions have influenced the formation of institutions, the creation of art and literature, and the evolution of political systems. Denison also considers the impact of technological advances on our emotional lives, and the challenges that arise when traditional emotional norms are disrupted. This book is an engaging and accessible read for anyone interested in the intersection of emotions and society, and offers a fresh perspective on the forces that shape our world.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
