Samenvatting

First published in 1921 as the second edition of a 1917 original, this book examines the psychological and philosophical nature of instinct in humans. Drever analyses instinct's connection to emotions and behaviour, as well as how philosophers from the western tradition have understood instinct and its role in biology. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the overlap between psychology and biology.
