Emotions are two-sided. They contain deep truths about what it
means to be human, but they also deceive, mislead, and manipulate.
They are celebrated for the insights they provide, but they also
are denied, repressed, and dismissed. Though many institutions
recognize and study the power of emotion, its potential has yet to
be fully realized. Barbara J. McClure seeks to rectify this. In
Emotions: Problems and Promise for Human Flourishing, she examines
how emotions can be properly engaged for health and healing both
individually and corporately. Starting with the current
understandings of emotion, she notes the limitations of current
thought. She then draws on significant emotions theories from
ancient philosophy, Christian theology, natural sciences,
psychology, social theory, and contemporary neuroscience to create
a more well-rounded understanding of emotions and their place in
Western society. Ultimately, McClure argues that emotions, if
understood and engaged correctly, can be a source of guidance for
flourishing and a resource for nurturing the common good. With this
wide-ranging multidisciplinary approach, McClure proposes an
understanding of emotions that allows for a new model of human
flourishing: one that does not dismiss emotions but utilizes them
properly to engage life's challenges. Emotions should not be
censored, silenced, or sidelined - they are important tools for
discerning and cultivating what is Good and resisting what is not.
