What Emotions Really Are

  • Paul E. Griffiths
University of Chicago Press: 1998. 186pp. $17, £13.50

“It is difficult to do justice to Griffiths in a short review. His analysis of the concept of emotion and his proposal for the future direction of the field is the most compelling and best argued I have read. What Emotions Really Are makes a strong claim to be one of the best books to have emerged on the subject of human emotion.” Ray Dolan, Nature 391, 35; 36; (1998).
