Our period opens at the end of the Roman Empire when intellectual
currents are indebted to the Greek philosophical inheritance of
Plato and Aristotle, as well as to a Romanized Stoicism. Into this
mix entered the new, and from 313CE imperially sanctioned, religion
of Christianity. In art, literature, music, and drama, we find an
increasing emphasis on the arousal of individual emotions and their
acceptance as a means towards devotion. In religion, we see a move
from the ascetic regulation of emotions to the affective piety of
the later medieval period that valued the believer's identification
with the Passion of Christ and the sorrow of Mary. In science and
medicine, the nature and causes of emotions, their role in
constituting the human person, and their impact on the same became
a subject of academic inquiry. Emotions also played an increasingly
important public role, evidenced in populace-wide events such as
conversion and the strategies of rulership. Between 350 and 1300,
emotions were transformed from something to be transcended into a
location for meditation upon what it means to be human.
