• Introduction ; 1. Towards the Perceptual Model ; 2. The Perceptual Model ; 3. Against the Perceptual Model ; 4. Emotion and Understanding ; 5. Emotion, Attention, and Virtue ; Bibliography

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.
