Produktbeschreibung

Morality and Emotion brings together researchers from the fields of psychology, philosophy, computer science and the humanities to explore the relationship between morality and emotion. The volume aims to stimulate discussion between the various subject areas, challenging self-contained disciplinary views on morality and emotion, and consequently encouraging a more integrative analysis covering various methodological angles and entanglements. The book will appeal to researchers and postgraduate students interested in reflecting on how these two concepts are intrinsically related.
