Series: Routledge Handbooks in Philosophy

The emotions occupy a fundamental place in philosophy, going back to Aristotle. However, the phenomenology of the emotions has until recently remained a relatively neglected topic. The Routledge Handbook of Phenomenology of Emotion is an outstanding guide and reference source to this important and fascinating topic. Comprising forty-nine chapters by a team of international contributors, this handbook covers the following topics:

historical perspectives, including Brentano, Husserl, Sartre, Levinas and Arendt; contemporary debates, including existential feelings, situated affectivity, embodiment, art, morality and feminism; self-directed and individual emotions, including happiness, grief, self-esteem and shame; social emotions, including sympathy, aggresive emotions, collective emotions and political emotions; borderline cases of emotion, including solidarity, trust, pain, forgiveness and revenge.

Essential reading for students and researchers in philosophy studying phenomenology, ethics, moral psychology and philosophy of psychology, The Routledge Handbook of Phenomenology of Emotion is also suitable for those in related disciplines such as religion, sociology and anthropology.

Reviews for The Routledge Handbook of Phenomenology of Emotion

"""A research-oriented anthology ideally should provide the reader/researcher with an extensive historical perspective, a comprehensive overview of current debates/controversies, and an opening to new issues for ongoing study. Editors Szanto and Landweer deliver a comprehensive collection satisfying precisely these conditions[.] ... Overall, the book is an exploration of areas central to the ongoing study of emotions for the further development of phenomenology in contemporary philosophy/psychology: tensions between collective/individual emotions, affective intentionality in the framing of emotional discourse, consciousness and the world-disclosing aspects of emotions, the important identity-fulfilling function of emotions, and the authentic/inauthentic evaluative movement of emotions informing moralities. ... Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates. Graduate students and faculty."" - J. Gough, Choice"
