Treatise of the Passions and Faculties of the Soul

A landmark work of moral psychology from the Reformed tradition, examining the full range of human emotions — love, hatred, desire, joy, sorrow, hope, fear, boldness, shame, and anger. Reynolds explores how each passion operates within the soul, its causes and effects, and its proper regulation under right reason. The treatise also investigates the faculties of understanding, conscience, and will, addressing how knowledge, error, and moral judgment shape human action. A profound guide to self-knowledge and the soul's dignities and corruptions.
