Phenomenology and Perspectives on the Heart

This edited collection marks a new wave of international and philosophical scholarship on “the heart”- that rich dimension of our emotional being in the world.  This text addresses the relation between feeling and knowing and investigates whether or not the heart has its own way of cognition and critique. This book takes up the emotional turn in philosophy in general, and phenomenology in particular, advancing this field through innovative and original perspectives.  The contributions come from philosophers working in distinctive, yet overlapping areas of research.
