Understanding Emotions: Mind and Morals

A collection of essays that give philosophical consideration to the subject of the emotions. Each piece of work moves away from the idea of "right-thinking" as central to the study of emotion, freeing the field for study from a variety of related philosophical angles.

Editorial Reviews

'... this volume is a worthwhile contribution to the growing literature on the emotions. The disparate nature of the papers should serve to demonstrate the richness of the emotions as a topic of study... I would expect this book to be of real influence in directing future work within this area.' Metapsychology Online Book Reviews '... this book will be of interest across the philosophical spectrum to students and researchers of this topic.' Bulletin of Science, Technology and Society
