Description: Providing the first systematic interpretation of what Aristotle thinks emotions are and pointing to some philosophical merits of his account, this book addresses, among other things, his view on how emotions form; how they relate to beliefs and perceptions; how they relate to desires; and how different emotions are distinguished from each other.
Review Quotes: "The reader who studies this book and compares it carefully with Aristotle's text will learn a great deal, the process would have been made easier by a number of editorial modifications, such as supplying missing words and numerals and observing the difference of gerunds from participles." -- J. J. Mulhern, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
