Considers what emotions are, how they erupt, and how standard and moral emotions differ. These three lectures were delivered to the philosophy department at Yale in 1991, but are here revised and enlarged. Wollheim writes within the analytic tradition, yet abandons some of its assumptions, developing a psychologization or repsychologization of the mind. Writers discussed include Sartre, William James, Freud, Melanie Klein, Stendhal, Montaigne, and Bertrand Russell. Wollheim is chair of the philosophy department at University of California, Berkeley and author of The Thread of Life. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
