Psychologists no longer have a monopoly on studying emotions. This volume presents 30 original essays with further suggested reading by a team of interdisciplinary international contributors that reflect the growing attention being paid by philosophers to emotions in their own right, beyond traditional philosophizing on will and desire. Goldie (philosophy, U. of Manchester, UK) provides clues to this trend, then introduces interesting discussions on the nature of emotions: major theories, new interpretations, and a case for the need for an integrative approach with the sciences. Part II traces historical approaches to conceptions of emotions from the classic Greek to existentialist philosophers. Subsequent sections examine the role of emotions in relation to reason, self-awareness, values, and responses to art. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
