Emotions Myths and Theories

The problem to which this book is devoted can hardly be called new. Some of them had already been posed in antiquity. In spite of the fact that the attempts to solve them have given rise to a voluminous literature, one can say that the results achieved have not given a satisfactory answer to several of them, which have remained topical to the present day. These are the problems that arise when we study human consciousness and reason, and when we elucidate the patterns of man understands of the external world and of himself, and of his place in the world.
