THE PLEASURE OF EVIL.
WHY A BAD MEAU FOLLOWS A WET NIGHT.
Pleasure, on the evolutionary theory, is a sort of signal to tell us that the track is char, that what we are doing is physiologically boneli ind And that we may go ahead. Pain, on the other hand, is a danger-signal, warning us to stop. If this is so, why is it that in so many instances injurions acts and processes are accompanied by pleasure?
