This volume sheds light on the affective dimensions of self-knowledge and the roles that emotions and other affective states play in promoting or obstructing our knowledge of ourselves. It is the first book specifically devoted to the issue of affective self-knowledge.The relation between self-knowledge and human emotions is an often emphasized, but poorly articulated one. While philosophers of emotion tend to give affectivity a central role in making us who we are, the philosophical literature on self-knowledge focuses overwhelmingly on cognitive states and does not give a special place to the emotions. Currently there is little dialogue between both fields or with other philosophical traditions that have important contributions to make to this topic, such as phenomenology and Asian philosophy. This volume brings together philosophers from the relevant fields to explore two related sets of questions: First, do philosophers of emotion exaggerate the importance of our affective lives in making us who we are? Or is it philosophers of self-knowledge who misunderstand emotions? Second, what is the role of emotions in self-knowledge? What sort of self-knowledge can be secured by paying attention to our emotions?Emotional Self-Knowledge is an essential resource for researchers and advanced students working on philosophy of emotion, philosophy of mind, epistemology, philosophical psychology, and phenomenology.Chapter 1 and Chapter 10 of this book are freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

"Emotional self-knowledge is a new subject area in the intersection so far largely separate fields of philosophy of self-knowledge and philosophy of emotions. This book brings together leading experts from both fields to address questions about the role and reliability of emotions as sources of self-understanding. The scholarship in this innovative book is first-rate, and the editors and contributors are established scholars representing both analytical and phenomenological approaches to philosophy."Mikko Salmela, University of Copenhagen, Denmark"This outstanding volume introduces a wide array of interesting and original perspectives on the neglected role of emotion for self-knowledge and self-understanding. It fills a crucial gap in the extant literature on the epistemic significance of affectivity."Jean Moritz Müller, University of Bonn, Germany
