Emotions punctuate almost all significant events in our lives, but
their nature, causes, and consequences are among the least well
understood aspects of human experience. It is easier to express
emotions than to describe them and even harder to analyse and
explain them. Despite their apparent familiarity, emotions are an
extremely subtle and complex topic. Unfortunately, the topic was
neglected by philosophers and scientists in the past. In recent
decades, however, interest in the emotions has grown considerably
among scholars and students from many disciplines, as well as among
the public at large. If there is to be any progress in this
theoretically and practically important field, not only is a broad
philosophical examination of basic concepts and issues essential
(drawing both on analytical philosophy and phenomenology), but also
an interdisciplinary approach that combines philosophical analysis
with other types of scientific research (such as psychology,
anthropology, history, sociology, and brain sciences). The
clarification of basic emotional concepts as well as the
unification of linguistic usages across disciplines and natural
languages are necessary for integrating the growing body of
interdisciplinary emotional research (e.g., does the traditional
German "Gefuhl" correspond to "feeling" or to "emotion"? and what
about "Stimmung"?). The contemporary philosophy of emotions is
equipped for this integrative task. It can provide us with a better
and more comprehensive picture of the nature of emotions.
