Based upon lectures presented at an invitational colloquium in
honor of Nico Frijda, this collection of essays represents a brief
and up-to-date overview of the field of emotions, their
significance and how they function. For most, emotions are simply
what we feel, giving our lives affective value. Scientists approach
emotions differently -- some considering the "feeling" aspect to be
of little relevance to their research questions. Some investigators
consider emotions from a phenomenological perspective, while others
believe that the psychophysiological bases of the emotions are of
prime importance, and still others observe and study animals in
order to generate hypotheses about human emotions. Containing
essays which represent each of these approaches, this book is in
one sense a heterogenous collection. Nevertheless, the variety of
approaches and interests come together, since these scholars are
all operating from a more or less cognitive psychological
orientation and use the same conceptual reference scheme. Written
by experts in their own area, the essays reflect the richness of
research in emotions. Whether these approaches and opinions can be
harmonized into a single theory of emotions is a question which the
future will have to answer.
