The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy of Emotion (Oxford Handbooks) - Softcover

Review from previous edition Without any doubt ... a collection of useful and inspiring materials that I recommend for anyone interested in philosophy of emotions ... I have already made good use of it in papers and seminars and intend to do so in my future research. (Robert Zaborowski, Metapsychology)

This volume contains thirty-one state-of-the-art contributions from leading figures in the study of emotion today. The volume addresses all the central philosophical issues in current emotion research, including: the nature of emotion and of emotional life; the history of emotion from Plato to Sartre; emotion and practical reason; emotion and the self; emotion, value, and morality; and emotion, art and aesthetics.

Anyone interested in the philosophy of emotion, and its wide-ranging implications in other related fields such as morality and aesthetics, will want to consult this book. It will be a vital resource not only for scholars and graduate students but also for undergraduates who are finding their way into this fascinating topic.
