This book seeks to provide an overview of the various theories of emotions in Western thought-from classical philosophy to some of the major schools of thought in contemporary psychology. More than simply presenting the ideas of various authors, the book invites the reader on a journey through the history of a collective intellectual endeavor spanning more than two millennia, in search of an understanding of what emotions are and why they are so important in our lives.
