He starts by examining critically the influential hybrid cognitive theory (in particular William Lyons’s causal-evaluative theory), describing its merits but also elucidating a number of fundamental defects that exist in this account. He goes on to detail Martin Heidegger’s description of mood in \u003ci\u003eBeing and Time\u003c\/i\u003e as pre-cognitive and pre-moral, defending it from those who attempt to attribute a cognitive dimension to it.\u003cbr\u003e The book highlights the significance of connections or bonds in our affective lives, at the ontic as well as ontological levels, by examining three specific emotions; grief, guilt and objectless fear. One of the study’s principal achievements is the demonstration that there is much to be gained from both the analytic and continental traditions of philosophy in furthering our understanding of emotion and mood analysis. In particular, it shows how our understanding of guilt and objectless fear can be deepened when assessed in Heideggerian terms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents: Emotion Analysis – Critical Assessment of the Cognitive Theory – Pathways Towards Heidegger’s Analysis – Defending Heidegger as Offering a Pre-cognitive and Ontologically Important Account of Emotions\/Moods – A Focus on Grief – Guilt and Objectless Fear – New Translation of Section 58 of \u003ci\u003eBeing and Time\u003c\/i\u003e – Linking Analytic and Continental Philosophy.","brand":"Verlag Peter Lang","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51043734847831,"sku":"9783039114054","price":49.68,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/emotions-their-cognitive-base-and-ontological-importance-9783039114054","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
