Reviews
What makes this book so important and timely is its penetrating critique of a popular, attractive idea that emotions are normatively similar to perceptual experience in virtue of being psychologically similar to them. The rich and compelling positive picture emerging from the critique merits serious attention in its own right. * Michael Milona, Ethics *
Impressive ... The author's patient approach to criticism, unwavering clarity, and plain old philosophical good sense make the book an unparalleled entry to debates about emotions and knowledge. * John M. Monteleone, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *
Emotional Insight presents an interesting and persuasive thesis about the epistemic value of emotion ... The book should be of interest not only to epistemologists and philosophers of mind, but also to anyone interested in the role of emotion in ethics, aesthetics and political philosophy. * Carolyn Price, Mind *
[Emotional Insight] is unquestionably required reading for anyone currently working in the philosophy of emotions. As that field continues to grow, so too will the audience for this important work. * S. A. Howard, The Philosophical Quarterly. *
