Rationality of Emotion

In this urbane and witty book, Ronald de Sousa disputes the widespread notion that reason and emotion are natural antagonists. 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 Ronald de Sousa is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Toronto.De Sousa, Ronald is the author of 'Rationality of Emotion' with ISBN 9780262540575 and ISBN 0262540576.
