Emotion: The Basics
While human beings might be rational animals, they are emotional animals as well. Emotions play a central role in all areas of our lives, and if we are to have a proper understanding of human life and activity, we ought to have a good grasp of the emotions. Michael S. Brady structures Emotion: The Basics around two basic, yet fundamental, questions: What are emotions? And what do emotions do?
In answering these questions, Brady provides insight into a core component of all our lives, covering:
- The nature of emotion;
- Emotion, knowledge, and understanding;
- Emotion and action;
- Emotions and social groups;
- Emotion, morality, and art.
In this concise and insightful introduction, Brady explains why we are often better off as a result of emotion rather than reason being in the driving seat, as our lives, both individual and social, would be significantly impoverished without the emotions.
With a glossary of key terms and suggestions for further reading, Emotion: The Basics is an ideal starting point for anyone seeking a full introduction to the philosophical study of emotion.
