Part of the fascination has been that the emotions resist classification. As adequate account therefore requires receptivity to knowledge from a variety of sources. The philosopher must inform himself of the relevant empirical investigation to arrive at a definition, and the scientist cannot afford to be naive about the assumptions built into his conceptual apparatus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe contributors to this volume have approached the problem of characterizing and classifying emotions from the perspectives of neurophysiology, psychology, and social psychology as well as that of philosophical psychology. They discuss the difficulties that arise in classifying the emotions, assessing their appropriateness and rationality, and determining their function in motivating moral action.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Am駘ie Oksenberg Rorty\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520039211\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520039216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/09\/1980\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 543\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.22h x 5.48w x 1.30d","brand":"Am駘ie Oksenberg Rorty","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44583714160895,"sku":"9780520039216","price":38.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d842ad80-001d-46d1-b0d0-84b0d8a28bec.jpg?v=1701883153","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/explaining-emotions-amlie-oksenberg-rorty-9780520039216","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
