What Emotions Really Are

Klappentext In a provocative contribution to the philosophy of science and mind! Paul Griffiths criticizes contemporary philosophy and psychology of emotion for failing to take in an evolutionary perspective and address current work in neurobiology and cognitive science. Reviewing current models of emotion! Griffiths points out their deficiencies and suggests a more equal basis for future models. Zusammenfassung Argues that much research of the emotions has been misguided. This text attempts to show that "emotion" encompasses psychological states of very different! and thus not comparable! kinds. A detailed overview of the relevant empirical evidence is provided! assessing three theoretical approaches.
