This innovative new volume analyses the role of emotions in
knowledge acquisition. It focuses on the field of philosophy of
emotions at the exciting intersection between epistemology and
philosophy of mind and cognitive science to bring us an in-depth
analysis of the epistemological value of emotions in reasoning.
With twelve chapters by leading and up-and-coming academics, this
edited collection shows that emotions do count for our epistemic
enterprise. Against scepticism about the possible positive role
emotions play in knowledge, the authors highlight the how and the
why of this potential, lucidly exploring the key aspects of the
functionality of emotions. This is explored in relation to:
specific kinds of knowledge such as self-understanding,
group-knowledge and wisdom; specific functions played by certain
emotions in these cases, such as disorientation in enquiry and
contempt in practical reason; the affective experience of the
epistemic subjects and communities.
