In this book, Rebekka Hufendiek explores emotions as embodied,
action-oriented representations, providing a non-cognitivist theory
of emotions that accounts for their normative dimensions. Embodied
Emotions focuses not only on the bodily reactions involved in
emotions, but also on the environment within which emotions are
embedded and on the social character of this environment, its
ontological constitution, and the way it scaffolds both the
development of particular emotion types and the unfolding of
individual emotional episodes. In addition, it provides a critical
review and appraisal of current empirical studies, mainly in
psychophysiology and developmental psychology, which are relevant
to discussions about whether emotions are embodied as well as
socially embedded. The theory that Hufendiek puts forward denies
the distinction between basic and higher cognitive emotions: all
emotions are embodied, action-oriented representations. This
approach can account for the complex normative structure of
emotions, and shares the advantages of cognitivist accounts of
emotions without sharing their problems. Embodied Emotions makes an
original contribution to ongoing debates on the normative aspects
of emotions and will be of interest to philosophers working on
emotions, embodied cognition and situated cognition, as well as
neuroscientists or psychologists who study emotions and are
interested in placing their own work within a broader theoretical
framework.
