Beskrivning
Keith Oatley draws on theories from psychology, philosophy and linguistics, as well as writings from other social sciences, to show how emotions are central to any understanding of human actions and mental life.
'Keith Oatley has written a brilliant book. He has shown how literary insights into the world of emotions can be married to psychological theory. The result should be enlightening for both cognitive science and literary criticism.' Phil Johnson-Laird
