This book takes a multidisciplinary approach to emotion, with
contributions from biologists, psychologists, neuroscientists,
robot engineers, and artists. A wide range of emotional phenomena
is discussed, including the notion that humans' sophisticated
sensibility, as evidenced by our aesthetic appreciation of the
arts, is based at least in part on a basic emotional sensibility
that is found in young children and perhaps even some non-human
animal species. As a result, this book comprises a unique
comparative perspective on the study of emotion. A number of
chapters consider emotions in a variety of animal groups, including
fish, birds, and mammals. Other chapters expand the scope of the
book to humans and robots. Specific topics covered in these
chapters run the gamut from lower-level emotional activity, such as
emotional expression, to higher-level emotional activity, such as
altruism, love, and aesthetics. Taken as a whole, the book presents
manifold perspectives on emotion and provides a solid foundation
for future multidisciplinary research on the nature of emotions.
