A Theory of Feelings examines the problem of human feelings, widely
understood, from phenomenological, analytic, and historical
perspectives. It begins with an analysis of drives and affects, and
pursues the nature of "feeling" itself, in all of its variability,
through a close study of the distinctive categories of emotions,
emotional dispositions, orientive feelings, and the passions. As
such, the starting point of the anlysis entails an examination of
the characteristics of human involvement, or our ways of being in
the world. Building upon this assessment of the conditions of human
involvement, the philosophical history and emotional economy
characteristic of modern relationships is treated, and the nature
of expression, social division, suffering, and responsibility is
evaluated in light of the theory of feeling presented here. The
book is recommended to anyone interested in philosophy, psychology,
sociology, and cognitive science.
