The Infallibility of Humane Judgment: Its Dignity and Excellency is a book written by William Lyons in 1720. The book explores the concept of human judgment and its infallibility, arguing that human judgment is a dignified and excellent quality. Lyons examines the nature of human reasoning, exploring the ways in which people make decisions and judgments, and argues that these processes are essential to our understanding of the world around us. The book also discusses the limitations of human judgment, acknowledging that people are fallible and can make mistakes. However, Lyons ultimately argues that these limitations do not detract from the inherent value of human judgment. The Infallibility of Humane Judgment is a thought-provoking work that offers a unique perspective on the nature of human reasoning and its importance in our lives.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

In this study William Lyons presents a sustained and coherent theory of the emotions, and one which draws extensively on the work of psychologists and physiologists in the area. Dr Lyons starts by giving a thorough and critical survey of other principal theories, before setting out his own 'causal-evaluative' account. In addition to giving an analysis of the nature of emotion - in which, Dr Lyon argues, evaluative attitudes play a crucial part - his theory throws light on the motivating role of emotions in our lives, our attitudes towards our emotions and our responsibility for them.
