This 1996 book is the result of a uniquely productive union of
philosophy, psychoanalysis and anthropology, and explores the
complexity and importance of emotions. Michael Stocker places
emotions at the very centre of human identity, life and value. He
lays bare how our culture's idealisation of rationality pervades
the philosophical tradition and leads those who wrestle with
serious ethical and philosophical problems into distortion and
misunderstanding. Professor Stocker shows how important are the
social and emotional contexts of ethical dilemmas and inner
conflicts, and he challenges philosophical theories that try to
overgeneralise and over-simplify by leaving out the particulars of
each situation. In offering a realistic account of emotions and an
in-depth analysis of how psychological factors affect judgments of
all kind, this book will interest a broad range of readers across
the disciplines of philosophy and psychology.
