This title was first published in 2002: At the end of the 20th
century, the emotions ceased to be a neglected topic for
philosophical consideration. The editor suggests that this may, in
part, be due to a change in the way the subject is approached. The
emotions were characteristically thought of by philosophers as
states which give rise to perturbation in what might roughly be
called "right-thinking". The basic idea was that practical
reasoning, like theoretical reasoning, ought to be, and can be,
dispassionate. This means that either the emotions interfere with
"right-reasoning" in a way which is a proper object of study for
the biological sciences but not for the science of the mind, or
that the emotions become reducible to, and analyzable as,
collections of propositional attitudes which are themselves
assessable in terms of "right-reasoning". The move away from this
idea is taken as an improvement in our philosophical approach to
the emotions by the authors. Following this, all of the papers in
the volume contribute to this philosophical approach, each
approaching the subject from a different angle.
