The Value of Emotions for Knowledge Candiotto Laura
This innovative new volume analyses the role of emotions in knowledge acquisition. Against scepticism about the possible positive role emotions play in knowledge, the authors highlight the how and the why of this potential, lucidly exploring the key aspects of the functionality of emotions. It focuses on the field of philosophy of emotions at the exciting intersection between epistemology and philosophy of mind and cognitive science to bring us an in-depth analysis of the epistemological value of emotions in reasoning.With twelve chapters by leading and up-and-coming academics, this edited collection shows that emotions do count for our epistemic enterprise.
This is explored in relation to: specific kinds of knowledge such as self-understanding, group-knowledge and wisdom; specific functions played by certain emotions in these cases, such as
The Body of Knowledge
The Evolution of Knowledge
The Archaeology of Knowledge
Knowledge of the Holy
The Knowledge of the Holy
The Value of Everything
The Value of Luck
