John Abercrombie
The ’Philosophy of the Moral Feelings’ is a groundbreaking philosophical work on the complexities of emotions, masterfully crafted by Scottish physician John Abercrombie. It delves into the intricacies of the human emotional experience and offers a tantalizing glimpse into the inner workings of the human psyche. John Abercrombie (10 October 1780 - 14 November 1844) was a Scottish physician and philosopher. The Chambers Biographical Dictionary says of him that after James Gregory’s death, he was 'recognized as the first consulting physician in Scotland'. He was the official physician to Heriot’s Hospital and Physician to the King for Scotland.
