He argues that emotions are a kind of perception, that their roots in the paradigm scenarios in which they are learned give them an essentially dramatic structure, and that they have a crucial role to-play in rational beliefs, desires, and decisions by breaking the deadlocks of pure reason.The book's twelve chapters take up the following topics: alternative models of mind and emotion; the relation between evolutionary, physiological, and social factors in emotions; a taxonomy of objects of emotions; assessments of emotions for correctness and rationality; the regulation by emotions of logical and practical reasoning; emotion and time; the mechanism of emotional self-deception; the ethics of laughter; and the roles of emotions in the conduct of life. There is also an illustrative interlude, in the form of a lively dialogue about the ideology of love, jealousy, and sexual exclusiveness.A Bradford Book.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51707862679840,"sku":"NEW0262540576","price":45.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71WseJoW0GL.jpg?v=1779393710","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-rationality-of-emotion-bradford-books-0262540576","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
