Table of ContentsReviews'Moors' tour de force is a careful, thorough, and insightful account of modern scientific and philosophical theories of emotion. From now on, everyone must start with her analysis and summary – and learn from it (I did).' James A. Russell, Professor of Psychology, Boston College, USA 'There used to be no single book that tells you literally all you need to know to understand contemporary debates on emotions across disciplines. The book you are holding in your hands is that book. It reflects Agnes Moors' singular talent for systematic taxonomy. Enter this garden of theoretical forking paths without fear – you have the best tour guide that money can buy.' Andrea Scarantino, Professor of Philosophy, Georgia State University, USA 'This modestly titled 'Typology' is in fact enormously ambitious. 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.' Ronald de Sousa, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, University of Toronto, Canada '… a new way of organizing not only the dominant theories of this tradition but also theories that came before it and on which key figures of the tradition rely to formulate their theories.' Daniel Vanello, Philosophical Psychology Author InformationAgnes Moors is an associate professor in the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences, KU Leuven, Belgium, where she is a member of the Research Group of Quantitative Psychology and Individual Differences and the Center for Social and Cultural Psychology.
