Bucke's first book (of three), published two years after his appointment as medical superintendent of the Asylum for the Insane in London, Ontario. In it one sees Bucke's early attempt to integrate the profound albeit fleeting mystical experience he had had in 1872 into an overarching theory of transpersonal human evolution, with love and faith ultimately vanquishing fear and hate in human moral development. Bucke's ideas reached their fruition in the 1901 Cosmic Consciousness, his magnum opus published shortly before his death in which he described the development of consciousness in three stages from simple (animals), through self-consciousness (typical humans), to cosmic (the next evolutionary stage).

Wellcome II, p. 366; Dictionary of Nineteenth-Century British Philosophers I:264-266. Born in Northampshire, Cogan enrolled as a medical student at Leiden in 1765, after six years in the ministry, and was awarded his medical degree in 1767 for his dissertation, De animi pathematum, on the influence of the human passions on disease. He practiced as a physician, first in Holland, then in England, until 1780, when he retired from medicine to devote himself to literary and philosophical pursuits.

• The second of three works Cogan published on the passions, the first being his 1800 A Philosophical Treatise on the Passions; and the last being his 1817 Ethical Questions. In the two treatises offered here Cogan applies the ideas to human conduct and morality that he had delineated in his 1800 book, in which he had tried to identify the nature of and to classify the passions, emotions, and affections of the mind. Part I (the entire first volume of the present work) is titled "On Well-Being or Happiness; in Three Disquisitions: I. On the Beneficial and Pernicious Agency of the Passions. 2. On the Intellectual Powers, as Guides and Directors in the Pursuit of Well-Being. 3. On the Nature and Sources of Well-Being." Part II (the entire second volume) is titled "On Conduct conducive to Happiness, in Two Disquisitions: I. On the influence of virtue upon personal and social happiness. II. On Morality; its nature, laws, and motives."
• Though Cogan was almost as ignored in his own time as he is in ours, nonetheless, as Robert Wozniak points out in his essay on Cogan in the Dict. of 19th-Cent. British Philosophers, Cogan made a number of astute observations about affect and emotion, including "what may well be the first clear distinction between sudden evaluative appraisal precipitating an emotional reaction (passion) and emotion as a bodily reaction to that appraisal. It is surely the first attempt to separate endujring evaluation (affection) from transient passion by linking passion to the sudden and powerful influence of particularly interesting or unexpected objects and events" [Dict. I:265].
