Item 94 - Letter from Leslie Stephen to Henry Sidgwick

1 doc

Thanks Sidgwick for his letter, but clarifies that his gratitude is for Sidgwick's intention, which was, he assumes, to please the recipient. Reports that he had begun another note to Sidgwick in which he had tried to explain his view of the '"moral sense"', but he found it difficult to make his meaning clear in a short space. Discusses the meaning of approval and disapproval, liking and disliking. States that he has often thought 'of writing an essay on the sense of shame which would bring out the point, but it becomes indecent.'
