In this study of emotions and moods the author discusses both
analytic and continental traditions of philosophy. He starts by
examining critically the influential hybrid cognitive theory (in
particular William Lyons's causal-evaluative theory), describing
its merits but also elucidating a number of fundamental defects
that exist in this account. He goes on to detail Martin Heidegger's
description of mood in Being and Time as pre-cognitive and
pre-moral, defending it from those who attempt to attribute a
cognitive dimension to it. The book highlights the significance of
connections or bonds in our affective lives, at the ontic as well
as ontological levels, by examining three specific emotions; grief,
guilt and objectless fear. One of the study's principal
achievements is the demonstration that there is much to be gained
from both the analytic and continental traditions of philosophy in
furthering our understanding of emotion and mood analysis. In
particular, it shows how our understanding of guilt and objectless
fear can be deepened when assessed in Heideggerian terms.
