DESCRIPTION:
"One of a kind, and much needed" according to Gregg Rosenberg. Craig Delancey has stepped up to the plate to take on a topic that, from fear or neglect, few others in the philosophy of mind have been willing to take a swing at. And he has hit the ball out of the park. His book is comprehensive, sensitive, and lucid, exploring the topic without the sentimentality that prevents progress or the hard-headedness that trivializes our emotional lives. In this thoug. Gregg Rosenberg said A long overdue perspective on emotion. This book is just right in tone and content. Insightful, sensitively written, and important, it does the world a service by bringing to the public the central scientific work on the emotions, and carefully exploring what this work means for philophosy and the rest of us. Delancey's central conclusion, that our understanding of the mind should start with the question of how an organism can achieve. good shim for washing machine Patrick Williams This book is fantastic as a shim for my apartment sized washing machine. It is just the right thickness to level out the machine on the torn up linoleum floor that I wheel the machine on over to the sink to hook it up to the faucet. I am so glad I had "Dr." Delancey as my advisor and prof., with out him bring totally incompetent I might never have ended up in this 1 bedroom craphole. Thanks again
In this unique contribution to philosophical debate, Craig DeLancey shows that our best understanding of emotion provides essential insight on key issues in philosophy of mind and artificial intelligence. DeLancey offers us a bold new approach to the study of the mind based on the latest scientific research, and provides an accessible overview of the science of emotion and explanation of the technical issues that arise, with minimal jargon.
