About This Book

A sequence of analytical essays applies principles of biological evolution to trace the origins, differentiation, and functions of feeling and emotion; it examines introspection's corroboration of evolutionary hypotheses and critiques existing theories of pleasure and pain. Topics include primitive consciousness, fear as a foundational emotion and its later differentiation, relations between representation and affect, desire, attention, self-feeling, retrospective emotions such as despair and surprise, aesthetic and literary responses, ethical sentiment, and expressive behavior. The work combines theoretical argument, philosophical critique, and psychological analysis to propose an evolution-based framework for understanding emotional life.
