This volume brings together new work by leading philosophers on the
topics of emotion and value, and explores issues at their
intersection. Philosophers and psychologists working on the
emotions have reached something of a consensus about the complex,
inter-related nature of the affective and cognitive components of
emotions, and have increasingly focussed on the important
epistemological role that emotions play in giving us access to
values. At the same time, an increasing number of philosophers have
become attracted to analyses of value that give emotions a
prominent place in evaluative judgements and experiences. The work
undertaken in each of these areas has important implications for
current research on topics such as the role that emotions play in
practical rationality and moral psychology, the connection between
imagination and emotion in the appreciation of fiction, and more
generally with the ability of emotions to discern axiological
saliences and to ground (or fail to ground) the objectivity of
ethical or aesthetic value judgements. This volume makes a unique
contribution to scholarship on emotion and value by bringing
together top authors from these lines of research. In addition, the
volume contains a number of contributions that explore various
links between the emotions and self-understanding, touching on a
range of themes that include depression, empathy, agency, guilt,
and self-trust. All of these issues are approached from a number of
different perspectives in order to present the reader with a wide
view of this extremely rich terrain and to demonstrate how the
latest thinking in a number of currently intensive areas of
research is deeply interconnected.
