Produktinformationen zu „A Natural History of Human Emotions (ePub)“
A "fresh and entertaining" survey of the human emotional landscape-and how it has shifted over the centuries (Kirkus Reviews).
Using Charles Darwin's survey of emotions as a starting point, Stuart Walton'sA Natural History of Human Emotionsexamines the history of each of our core emotions-fear, anger, disgust, sadness, jealousy, contempt, shame, embarrassment, surprise, and happiness-and how these emotions have influenced both cultural and social history. We learn that primitive fear served as the engine of religious belief, while a desire for happiness led to humankind's first musings on achieving a perfect utopia.
Challenging the notion that human emotion has remained constant,A Natural History of Human Emotionsexplains why, in the last 250 years, society has changed its unwritten rules for what can be expressed in public and in private. LikeAn Intimate History of HumanityandNear a Thousand Tables, Walton'sA Natural History of Human Emotionsis a provocative examination of human feelings and a fascinating take on how emotions have shaped our past.
