In On Disgust, pioneering philosopher Aurel Kolnai (1905-1973) draws on Husserl’s phenomenological method to examine the experience of disgust.

Kolnai argues that disgust is never related to inorganic or nonbiological matter, and that its arousal by moral objects has an underlying similarity with its arousal by organic material: a particular combination of life and death. This book also includes an article published shortly before the author’s death titled

Knight, however, proves to be an uncompromising moralist who, obsessed with fears about Elfride’s sexual past, destroys her happiness. Writing of the struggle between classes and sexes, Hardy drew heavily on hi
