Robert C. Roberts first presented his vivid account of emotions as
'concern-based construals' in his book Emotions: An Essay in Aid of
Moral Psychology (Cambridge, 2003). In this new book he extends
that account to the moral life. He explores the ways in which
emotions can be a basis for moral judgments, how they account for
the deeper moral identity of actions we perform, how they are
constitutive of morally toned personal relationships like
friendship, enmity, collegiality and parenthood, and how pleasant
and unpleasant emotions interact with our personal wellbeing
(eudaimonia). He then sketches how, by means of their moral
dimensions, emotions participate in our virtues and vices, and for
better or worse, express our moral character. His rich study will
interest a wide range of readers working on virtue ethics, moral
psychology and emotion theory.
