Emotions and Reasons

An Inquiry into Emotional Justification

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In Emotions and Reasons, Patricia Greenspan offers an evaluative theory of emotion that assigns emotion a role of its own in the justification of action. She analyzes emotions as states of object-directed affect with evaluative propositional content possibly falling short of belief and held in mind by generalized comfort or discomfort.
