Understanding Emotions presents eight original essays on the
emotions from leading contemporary philosophers in North America
and the U.K: Simon Blackburn, Bill Brewer, Peter Goldie, Dan Hutto,
Adam Morton, Michael Stocker, Barry Smith, and Finn Spicer. Goldie
and Spicer's introductory chapter sets out the key themes of the
ensuing chapters: surveying contemporary philosophical thinking
about the emotions, and raising challenges to a number of
prejudices that are sometimes brought to the topic from elsewhere
in the philosophy of mind and moral philosophy. Brewer, Hutto,
Goldie and Smith explore the conceptual and epistemological
problems of other minds that the emotions raise, and how the
emotions can be a source of knowledge of the world around us. The
chapters by Stocker, Blackburn and Morton are broadly concerned
with issues in morality: Stocker argues for the traditional
Aristotelian view that emotions reveal value and are constitutive
of value; Blackburn, from a more Augustinian perspective, argues
that the virtuous person, like the rest of us, will be emotional
but he or she will have the right emotions towards the right
objects; Morton questions the idea of emotions and narrative as
sources of self-understanding. An extensive bibliography completes
the book. Drawing together the arguments of leading contemporary
philosophers, focusing on issues in the philosophy of mind,
epistemology and moral philosophy, this book offers a wide and deep
understanding of the emotions, and will be of interest across the
philosophical spectrum to students and researchers of this
fascinating and important topic.
