Description

Emotion is at the heart of our personal and social lives. Our emotional responses shape our thoughts and actions, influence our relationships with others, and drive our imaginations.

The role of emotion in human life has been debated for a long time. Carolyn Price explores some central questions about the nature and function of emotion, considering how it contrasts with belief and relates to our values, likes, and needs. She also examines different ways emotional responses can be judged as fitting or misplaced, rational or irrational.

This book provides an engaging introduction to the topic of human emotion, written in a clear and accessible style with many examples to illustrate key concepts. It is ideal for students, scholars, and anyone interested in understanding the complex phenomenon of emotion.
