Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is an analysis of the differing approaches to understanding emotion in contemporary continental philosophy and psychology, arguing that the two traditions have fallen into different common misconceptions and that each of these traditions can improve by considering the other's insights. The author holds that the phenomenological and hermeneutical traditions in continental philosophy have stagnated in their focus on the lived experience of the individual, while analytic philosophy and cognitive psychology have become mired in the idea that emotions are computational procedures that happen in the brain. The author's hope is that by bringing the two traditions together we can gain a fuller understanding of emotion.
