How do our feelings influence the kinds of people we are, and the sorts of communities and societies in which we live?

The book provides an accessible and thought-provoking introduction to the major debates around feelings in the modern world.Feelings is an accessible and engaging resource for students, academics, and indeed anyone with an interest in gaining a better understanding of this fundamental area of life.
