Description
Valuing Emotions explores the complexity and importance of emotions in human identity, life, and value. Michael Stocker places emotions at the centre of this inquiry, examining their role in social and emotional contexts of ethical dilemmas and inner conflicts.
The book challenges philosophical theories that oversimplify by leaving out the particulars of each situation, instead highlighting the need to consider the nuances of individual experiences. This thought-provoking work will interest readers across disciplines of philosophy and psychology.
