In this book, Cecilea Mun introduces an innovative meta-framework
for conducting interdisciplinary research in the science of
emotion, broadly construed, as well as a framework for a particular
kind of theory of emotion. She provides new solutions and arguments
in support of an embodied cognitive approach to resolving a wide
range of problems, including those concerning skepticism, the place
of ordinary intuitions for the science of emotion, intentionality,
the rationality of emotions, naturalizing knowledge, and the debate
between philosophical cognitive and noncognitive theories of
emotion. Her solutions include a revolutionary, unifying,
interdisciplinary taxonomy of theories of emotion, which allows one
to understand the discourse in the science of emotion as a debate
between four fundamental types of theories: realism,
instrumentalism, eliminativism, and eliminative-realism. Her
original proposal for a conception of intentionality that makes
sense of our ordinary intuitions is also combined with her
comprehensive account of rationality to articulate a groundbreaking
understanding of the structure of human rationality. All of the
contributions made herein, together, provide the foundations for a
profound understanding of emotions, including as a kind of embodied
language.
Each essay in this volume provides a cultural perspective on shame.
More specifically, each chapter focuses on the question of how
culture can differentially affect experiences of shame for members
of that culture. As a collection, this volume provides a
cross-cultural perspective on shame, highlighting the various
similarities and differences of experiences of shame across
cultures. In Part 1, each contributor focuses primarily on how
shame is theorized in a non-English-speaking culture, and address
how the science of shame ought to be pursued, how it ought to
identify its object of study, what methods are appropriate for a
rigorous science of shame, and how a method of study can determine
or influence a theory of shame. In Part 2, each contributor is
primarily concerned with a cultural practice of shame, and
addresses how shame is related to a normative understanding of our
self as a person and an individual member of a community, how
culture and politics affect the value and import of shame, and what
the relationship between culture and politics is in the
construction of shamed identities. Cultural Perspectives on Shame
will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in
cross-cultural philosophy, philosophy of emotion, moral psychology,
and the social sciences.
Shame is one of the most stigmatized and stigmatizing of emotions.
Often characterized as an emotion in which the subject holds a
global, negative self-assessment, shame is typically understood to
mark the subject as being inadequate in some way, and a sizable
amount of work on shame focuses on its problematic or unhealthy
aspects, effects, or consequences. Interdisciplinary Perspectives
on Shame reorients readers to a more balanced understanding of what
shame is, as well as its value and social function. The
contributors recognize shame as a complex, richly layered,
conscious or unconscious phenomenon, and the collection offers an
understanding of how theories of shame can help or hinder us in
understanding ourselves, others, and the world around us. It also
highlights how a diverse range of perspectives on shame can
enlighten our understanding of both the positive and negative
aspects of this powerful emotion. Edited by Cecilea Mun, these
chapters by an international group of scholars reflect a broad
range of methods, disciplinary perspectives, and both theoretical
and practical concerns regarding shame.

recognize shame as a complex, richly layered, conscious or

of what shame is, the scholarly discourse on shame, and how
theories of shame help us to understand ourselves, others, and the
world around us. It also highlights a diverse range of perspectives
on shame, and how these unique perspectives can enlighten our
understanding of both the positive and negative aspects of this
powerful emotion. Edited by Cecilea Mun, the ten chapters by an
international group of contributors reflect a broad range of
methods, disciplinary perspectives, and both theoretical and
practical concerns regarding shame.
