The Universality of Emotion - Paperback

by Bradley J. Irish (Author)

Not supplied by the author. This Element surveys how a number of major disciplines - psychology, neuroscience, sociology, anthropology, philosophy, history, linguistics, and literary/cultural studies - have addressed the long-standing research question of whether human emotions should be thought of as meaningfully 'universal.' The Element presents both the universalist and anti-universalist positions, and concludes by considering attempts to move beyond this increasingly unhelpful binary.
