Description

Explore the complex relationship between feeling and thinking in Passion in Action: Emotion and its Relation to Reason. Published by Oxford University Press, this volume offers a sophisticated and original approach to how emotions function within the human experience. Instead of viewing emotions and reason as separate entities, this work demonstrates that our feelings are both a product of our reason and a force that shapes it. By examining emotions as both a part of our agency and our passivity, the text explains how emotions act as passions that influence our thought processes. Simultaneously, it shows that having emotions allows us to find meaning and value in the world around us. This book is an essential resource for those studying the psychological and philosophical connections between emotional dispositions and the way we form and maintain our goals. It provides a deep look at what it means to be sensitive to reason through the lens of human emotion.
