Zusatztext 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. Informationen zum Autor John Deigh is Professor of Philosophy and of Law at the University of Texas at Austin. Klappentext This volume brings together philosophical essays on emotions by eleven leading thinkers in the field.
