Emotion Experience - Imprint Academic

description Reviews Formats

Emotion experience has failed to date to gain a central place in the study of consciousness. This special issue of the Journal of Consciousness Studies presents the most recent views on the matter, with discussions of several aspects of emotion experience. Contributors from different disciplines address links between feelings, brain, body and world. What happens in the brain and in the body when we have feelings? How do feelings relate to our understanding of the world? The contributors also analyse emotion experience per se — the character of moods, the role of emotion experience in demarcating the class of emotion, the alleged positive and negative character of affect, its embodied feel and its relation to action.

"The collected essays presented in this volume are a true reflection of the effort to establish a relation of topics and concerns among different fields, and a must for those who want to know and participate in the effort of building an interdisciplinary research on emotions."

"The papers tease out connection between emotions and feelings, feelings and the brain (for instance in empathy), brain and world."
