This Routledge Revival reissues Oliver Letwin's philosophical
treatise: Ethics, Emotion and the Unity of the Self, first
published in 1987, which concerns the applicability of the artistic
classifications of romanticism and classicism to philosophical
doctrine. Dr Letwin examines three particular theses associated
with philosophical romanticism: that there is within us a high self
and a low self; that there is a moral self in inevitable conflict
with an amoral self; and that there is a rational self disjoined
from and in tension with a passionate self. He argues that these
notions of philosophical romanticism are, in fact, radically false,
and instead takes the view that man can be a unified being of the
sort described by philosophical classicists. But man has to work to
achieve this status. The intrinsic unity of the human personality
is not a guarantee of a coherent life, but a challenge to be met.
