The Philosophy of the Feelings, of the Will, and of the Conscience, with the Ascertainment of Particular Rights and Duties

First, we cordially welcome the republication of Robert L. Dabney’s The Practical Philosophy because of the greatness of its author, and secondly, we rejoice in its reappearance because of the intrinsic value of this unusual book itself. By “practical philosophy” Dabney essentially means first, a survey of what composes the human personality and how it works, and secondly, he sets forth just how a balanced, Christlike personality is to behave in every department of life and activity.

Throughout the pages of these chapters husband and wife, mother, father, businessman and teacher will find much to make them dissatisfied with low attainments and speed them on to seek to be what God calls them and enables them to be and to do. The preacher who takes time to read these chapters will find hard places of Scripture illumined, and plain places burning with holy fire.

May God bless and make a blessing all who prayerfully read these pages. – Douglas F. Kelly, From the Preface
