Emotions of the soul

About the book: The emotions of the soul is primarily a book in psychology in which Descartes attempts to analyze various emotions, inclinations, and feelings to understand them and explain their mechanisms. And then to allow the mind to control and harness them to serve the happiness of the individual in his emotional life. It is also a book in ethics that complements what its author had established in the provisional science of ethics. In this book, the will plays an important role not to eradicate inclinations and emotions, but to tame and guide them toward this great victory in the individual's social life.
