Yet, surprisingly, there is still no consensus on their basic nature or workings. Ruth Leys's brilliant, much anticipated history, therefore, is a story of controversy and disagreement. The Ascent of Affect focuses on the post-World War II period, when interest in emotions as an object of study began to revive. Leys analyzes the ongoing debate over how to understand emotions, paying particular attention to the continual conflict between camps that argue for the intentionality or meaning of emotions but have trouble explaining their presence in non-human animals and those that argue for the universality of emotions but struggle when the question turns to meaning. Addressing the work of key figures from across the spectrum, considering the potentially misleading appeal of neuroscience for those working in the humanities, and bringing her story fully up to date by taking in the latest debates, Leys presents here the most thorough analysis available of how we have tried to think about how we feel. 606 $aEmotions$xResearch$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aEmotions$xResearch$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aAffect (Psychology) 606 $aEmotions and cognition 606 $aIntentionality (Philosophy) 615 0$aEmotions$xResearch$xHistory 615 0$aEmotions$xResearch$xHistory 615 0$aAffect (Psychology) 615 0$aEmotions and cognition. 615 0$aIntentionality (Philosophy) 676 $a152.4 686 $aLC 58000$qSEPA$2rvk 700 $aLeys$b Ruth, $01616837 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910968989903321 996 $aThe Ascent of Affect$94357801 997 $aUNINA
