Description: Paul Mattick reviews 'On the Emotions' by Richard Wollheim.
The philosopher Richard Wollheim tackles the emotions. odern philosophy has been much concerned with what we know and little with what we feel (though Descartes, whose theory of knowledge got things started in the 17th century, also wrote a book about what he called ''the passions of the soul''). Recently philosophers have become more interested in the emotions, perhaps in response both to the growing place of psychoanalysis and other psychologies in popular and academic culture and to the (not unrelated) general conviction that knowledge does not represent the product of pure rationality it was once taken to be. But the linguistic and logical conceptions popular among English-speaking philosophers since World War II may not be well suited to the analysis of emotion. At any rate, this is the opinion of Richard Wollheim, whose new book, based on lectures given at Yale University in 1991, insists on the ''psychological reality'' of emotion, as both product and shaper of individual lived experience.
