Emotions are among the most fundamental human capacities. They help
us to adequately and quickly respond to environmental affordances
of all kinds. Being capable of emotional responses we are
inextricably attached to our natural and social environment. These
tight emotional bonds to the world we inhabit are immediately
conspicuous when we find ourselves in the grip of strong feelings
like fear, love, hate or disgust. They are also present in all
other kinds of emotions, for instance, feelings of awe, compassion
or artistic enthusiasm. This volume tracks a variety of emotions in
a phenomenological manner. It explores the intertwinement of
cognitive content and feeling qualities of different emotions,
their varying motivational and expressive qualities, their bodily
manifestations, and social and moral implications. This focus on a
phenomenology of emotion reveals the rich meaning of emotions that
results from their embeddedness in our social and moral life. The
authors describe the peculiar character of human emotions from the
first- and second-person point of view of those subjects who
undergo and regularly share these emotions.

The divide between "analytic" and "continental" philosophy has
occupied a central place in the meta-philosophical discourse of the
20th and 21st century. This volume collects contributions from
leading philosophers whose work is in some way impacted by the
divide. While some of them tackle the issue in a straightforward
manner, others focus on concrete problems in relation to which
meta-philosophical differences actually do matter.
