On Emotions

The chapters in this volume offer many different perspectives on the various ways emotions contribute to the moral, aesthetic, comic, political, and intellectual aspects of human life. Anyone interested in any of these themes will thus find something to please them here. * Cain Todd, Journal of Moral Philosophy *
[This volume] provides a variety of new essays accessible and helpful to both the specialist and the general scholar. One not only finds a wide range of topics in philosophy of emotion addressed, but a variety of methods used to investigate them-with support ranging from psychological and neuroscientific evidence to art and literature. * Aaron Kagan, Philosophical Psychology *
Each of the essays deserves discussion in its own right. Together they demonstrate [Robert] Solomon's incredible influence across the many directions the field has taken, leaving readers already immersed in the discipline with new insights to explore. Readers less familiar with Solomon's work or the philosophy of the emotions more generally will benefit from the breadth of this collection and from [the editor's] careful attention to the history of the emotions in philosophical thought. * Katie Stockdale, Ethics *
