Moors has provided a lucid guide through the intricate history of emotion theory, tracing its many twists and turns over the past decades of accelerating research, and her accounts of both psychology and philosophy are even-handed and impressively systematic. And with all that, Moors does not merely explicate the complex debates to which emotion has given rise; she also makes a compelling case for an original synthesis, built around her contention that emotional processes are best understood as goal-directed rather than stimulus-bound.'

Agnes Moors also proposes her own novel, skeptical theory of emotions, called the goal-directed theory, based on the central idea that all kinds of behaviors and feelings are grounded in goal-striving. Whereas most scholars of emotion do not call the notion of emotion itself into question, this review engages in a critical examination of its scientific legitimacy. This book will appeal to readers in psychology, philosophy, and related disciplines who want to gain a deeper understanding of the controversies at play in the emotion domain.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePart I.
