Emotion is at the centre of our personal and social lives. To love
or to hate, to be frightened or grateful is not just a matter of
how we feel on the inside: our emotional responses direct our
thoughts and actions, unleash our imaginations, and structure our
relationships with others. Yet the role of emotion in human life
has long been disputed. Is emotion reason?s friend or its foe? From
where do the emotions really arise? Why do we need them at all? In
this accessible and carefully argued introduction, Carolyn Price
focuses on some central questions about the nature and function of
emotion. She explores the ways in which emotion contrasts with
belief and considers how our emotional responses relate to our
values, our likes and our needs. And she investigates some of the
different ways in which emotional responses can be judged as
fitting or misplaced, rational or irrational, authentic or
inauthentic, sentimental or profound. Throughout, she develops a
particular view of emotion as a complex and diverse phenomenon,
which reflects both our common evolutionary past and our different
cultural and personal histories. Engagingly written with lots of
examples to illuminate our understanding, this book provides the
ideal introduction to the topic for students and scholars and
anyone interested in delving further into the intricate web of
human emotion.
