This book presents new philosophical work on delusions and their
impact on everyday human behavior. It explores a cluster of related
topics at the intersection of philosophy of mind and psychiatry,
while also charting the historical development of work on
delusions.
This interdisciplinary volume brings together specialists from
different backgrounds to deliver expert views on the relationship
between morality and emotion, putting a special emphasis on issues
related to emotional shocks. One of the distinctive aspects of
social existence today is our subjection to traumatic events on a
global scale, and our subsequent embodiment of the emotional
responses these events provoke. Covering various methodological
angles, the contributors ensure careful and heterogeneous
reflection on this delicate topic. With eleven original essays, the
collection spans a wide variety of fields from philosophy and
literary theory, to the visual arts, history, and psychology. The
authors cover diverse themes, including philosophical approaches to
political polarization; the impact of negative emotions such as
anger on inter-relational balance; humour and politics; media and
the idea of progress; photography and trauma discourse; democratic
morality in modern Indian society; emotional olfactory experiences;
phenomenological readings of spatial disorientation, and the
significance of moral shocks. This timely volume offers crucial
perspectives on contemporary questions relating to ethical
behaviours, and the challenges of a globalized society on the verge
of political, financial and emotional collapse.

Produced on the fringes of philosophy and literary criticism, this
book is a pioneering study which aims to explicitly address and
thematize what may be called a "critical philosophy in the
condition of modernism". Its most important and original
contribution to both disciplines is a self-conscious reflection on
possible modes of writing philosophy today, and a systematic
comparison with what happened in literary modernism at the
beginning of the twentieth-century. The volume is divided into six
sections, where internationally renowned scholars discuss such
pressing topics as the role of an unreliable narrator in a major
philosophical treatise, the different mediums of art-production and
how these impact on our perception of the Work itself, the role of
narrative in animal ethics and the filmic adaption of a Modernist
classic.
