Passion and Action: The Emotions in Seventeenth-Century Philosophy
James, Susan (Department of Philosophy,d Birkbeck College, Department of Philosophy,d Birkbeck College)
An exploration of the role of the emotions in early modern thought, this study offers fresh readings of a broad range of thinkers, including such canonical figures as Hobbes, Descartes, Malebranche, Spinoza, Pascal, and Locke. It shows that a full understanding of their philosophies must take account of their interpretations of our affective life.
