Scientists agree that emotions contain both a cognitive and a physiological component. The cognitive part can be modified, while the physiological response is largely involuntary. In religious terms, the answer is clear in its legislation of heart motives: love your enemies, lust is equivalent to adultery, hate is the same thing as murder.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003ePerilous Passions\u003c\/em\u003e, Hilaire Kallendorf draws on early modern Spanish theatre to reveal how emotions have always been understood as central to ethics. Starting with a treatise on emotion, \u003cem\u003eOn the Passions of the Soul\u003c\/em\u003e by Juan Luis Vives (1493–1540), Kallendorf uses pairs of opposing emotions – love\/hatred, desire\/aversion, joy\/sorrow, hope\/despair, and courage\/fear – to explore how they are depicted in Golden Age plays.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book pinpoints and probes intersections of feelings with morality. It asks: Do emotions bear positive or negative ethical overtones? Which emotions are more conducive to virtue? Are passions perceived as perilous in early modern Spain, in agreement with Neostoic principles? Or does the Catholic liturgy\u0026amp;#x2019;s emphasis on involving the corporeal senses in worship mean that bodily sensations, including feelings, are accorded pride of place – especially in drama? In asking these questions, \u003cem\u003ePerilous Passions\u003c\/em\u003e argues for the significance of theatre in emotional education.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Figures\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Can Feelings Be Wrong?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.
