What are emotions? Why are emotions important in our lives? Emotion: The Basics answers these questions, and in doing so provides accounts of the nature and value of particular emotions that are central to human existence.The overarching message is that our lives, both individual and social, would be significantly impoverished without the emotions.
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.
