The Idea That We Are In Some Significant Sense Responsible For Our Emotions Is An Idea That Robert Solomon Has Developed For Almost Three Decades. Here, In A Single Volume, He Traces The Development Of This Theory Of Emotions And Elaborates Upon It In Detail. Two Themes Run Through His Work. The First Presents A Cognitive Theory Of Emotions In Which Emotions Are Construed Primarily As Evaluative Judgments. The Second Proposes An Existentialist Perspective In Which He Defends The Idea That, As We Are Responsible For Our Emotions, It Might Even Make Sense To Say That We Choose Them. While The First Claim Has Gained Increasing Currency In The Literature, His Claim About Responsibility Has Continued To Meet With Considerable Resistance And Misinterpretation. The New Emphasis On Evolutionary Biology And Neurology Has (mistakenly) Reinforced The Popular Prejudice That Emotions Happen To Us And Are Entirely Beyond Our Control.--jacket.
