Review Quotes:
""Emotional Experiences" is a truly original contribution in emotion studies, as it fully delivers on its promise to provide accurate descriptions that disclose the essential structure of several emotions. The essays not only offer illuminating accounts that are faithful to the phenomena, they also show how much philosophy of mind can learn from a robust phenomenological inquiry into the intentional, attitudinal, and evaluative aspects of affective experience." --Anthony Hatzimoysis, Assistant Professor of Philosophy, University of Athens
"Emotions are currently a topic of intense philosophical investigation, and Emotional Experiences demonstrates the indispensable contribution the tradition of Husserlian phenomenology is making to that investigation. Going beyond the psychology of emotions and a focus on their role in causal explanations, the essays provide eye-opening analyses of specific emotions, revealing the complex entanglement of self, others, and the world they entail." --Steven Crowell, Joseph and Joanna Nazro Mullen Professor of Philosophy, Rice University "This volume is a welcome addition to the burgeoning work on emotion. It features chapters by philosophers working mainly within the Husserlian phenomenological tradition, sometimes consulting pertinent work in analytic philosophy of mind and experimental moral psychology. . . . Overall, this collection is a valuable and highly recommended contribution to Husserlian phenomenology and the philosophy of emotion more generally." --Husserl Studies
