Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
'It is clearly and engagingly written, uses vivid examples throughout, and covers an impressively wide range of emotions. Roberts discusses the philosophical and neurological literature on emotion, as well as many literary case studies. He makes a strong case for the importance of emotions to ethics. In fact, anyone who believes otherwise will have a hard time responding to Roberts because of the enormous number of examples and arguments presented in this book.' Linda Zagzebski, University of Oklahoma '... a strong and sustained piece of work that presents a truly original and thought-provoking analysis of emotions ...' Nick Haslam, University of Melbourne 'The clarity, subtlety, breadth, and depth of Roberts's book are richly rewarding and make it essential reading. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a milestone in the development of the philosophical analysis of emotions.' Journal of Moral Philosophy Read more...
