Warren Tenhouten

Emotion and Reason (eBook, ePUB)

Mind, Brain, and the Social Domains of Work and Love

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Although much academic work has been done on the areas of mind, brain, and society, a theoretical synthesis of the three levels of analysis - the biological, the mental, and the social - has not until now been put forward. In Emotion and Reason, Warren TenHouten presents a truly comprehensive classification of the emotions. Analyzing six key emotions - anger, acceptance, aggressiveness, love, joy and happiness, and anticipation - the book presents a socioevolutionary theory of the emotions which is based on a synthesis of three models, of the emotions, of social relationships, and of cognition.
