Emotions are among the most fundamental human capacities. They help us
to adequately and quickly respond to environmental affordances of all
kinds. Being capable of emotional responses we are inextricably
attached to our natural and social environment. These tight emotional
bonds to the world we inhabit are immediately conspicuous when we find
ourselves in the grip of strong feelings like fear, love, hate or
disgust. They are also present in all other kinds of emotions, for
instance, feelings of awe, compassion or artistic enthusiasm. This
volume tracks a variety of emotions in a phenomenological manner. It
explores the intertwinement of cognitive content and feeling qualities
of different emotions, their varying motivational and expressive
qualities, their bodily manifestations, and social and moral
implications. This focus on a phenomenology of emotion reveals the
rich meaning of emotions that results from their embeddedness in our
social and moral life. The authors describe the peculiar character of
human emotions from the first- and second-person point of view of
those subjects who undergo and regularly share these emotions.
