'What is emotion?' pondered the young Charles Darwin in his
notebooks. How were the emotions to be placed in an evolutionary
framework? And what light might they shed on human-animal
continuities? These were among the questions Darwin explored in his
research, assisted both by an acute sense of observation and an
extraordinary capacity for fellow feeling, not only with humans but
with all animal life. "After Darwin: Animals, Emotions, and the
Mind "explores questions of mind, emotion and the moral sense which
Darwin opened up through his research on the physical expression of
emotions and the human-animal relation. It also examines the extent
to which Darwin's ideas were taken up by Victorian writers and
popular culture, from George Eliot to the "Daily News." Bringing
together scholars from biology, literature, history, psychology,
psychiatry and paediatrics, the volume provides an invaluable
reassessment of Darwin's contribution to a new understanding of the
moral sense and emotional life, and considers the urgent scientific
and ethical implications of his ideas today.
