About the Book

There is a large amount of scientific work on emotion in psychology, neuroscience, biology, physiology, and psychiatry, which assumes that it is possible to study emotions and other affective states, objectively. Emotion science of this sort is concerned primarily with 'facts' and not 'values', with 'description' not 'prescription'. The assumption behind this vision of emotion science is that it is possible to distinguish factual from evaluative aspects of affectivity and emotion, and study one without the other. But what really is the basis for distinguishing fact and value in emotion and affectivity? And can the distinction withstand careful scientific and philosophical scrutiny? The essays in this collection all suggest that the problems behind this vision of emotion science may be more complex than is commonly supposed.

Table of Contents:
1. Fact and value in emotion: An introduction and historical review (by Zachar, Peter); 2. A moral line in the sand: Alexander Crichton and Philippe Pinel on the psychopathology of the passions (by Charland, Louis C.); 3. How to evaluate the factual basis of emotional appraisals? (by Salmela, Mikko); 4. The problem with too much anger: A philosophical approach to understanding anger in borderline personality disordered patients (by Nyquist Potter, Nancy); 5. A confusion of pains: The sensory and affective components of pain, suffering, and hurt (by Radden, Jennifer); 6. Ethical implications of emotional impairment (by Rudnick, Abraham); 7. Facts and values in emotional plasticity (by Faucher, Luc); 8. Attributing aberrant emotionality to others (by Haslam, Nick); 9. Emotion and the neural substrate of moral judgment (by Landreth, Anthony); 10. The phenomenology of alexithymia as a clue to the intentionality of emotion (by Ellis, Ralph D.); 11. A phenomenologist's view of the omnipresence of the evaluative in human experience: Knowledge as a founded mode and the primacy of care (by Hersch, Edwin L.); 12. Index

Review :
All in all, the book represents a valuable contribution to the discussion of an interesting and relatively neglected aspect of emotion theory.
