Emotions Philosophy

People over the course of humanity’s long lifetime have wondered about our proclivity towards evil. What makes us evil? Are we evil by choice or by nature? How can a man become evil? These provocative questions are at the forefront of philosophical discussions all around the world. The author explains in detail, with examples through the ages, how and why man turns to evil and explore the consequences of evil actions.

Today, we are caught in a shame spiral—a vortex of mutual shaming that pervades everything from politics to social media. We are shamed for our looks, our culture, our ethnicity, our sexuality, our poverty, our wrongdoings, our politics. But what is the point of all this shaming and countershaming? Does it work? And if so, for whom? In Shame, David Keen explores the function of modern shaming, paying particular attention to how shame is instrumentalized and weaponized.

Barbara H. Rosenwein traces our many conflicting ideas about and expressions of anger, taking the story from the Buddha to our own time, from anger's complete rejection to its warm reception. Rosenwein explores how anger has been characterized by gender and race, why it has been tied to violence and how that is often a false connection, how it has figured among the seven deadly sins and yet is considered a virtue, and how its interpretation, once largely the preserve of philosophers and theologians, has been gradually handed over to scientists - with very mixed results.

Hatred is often considered the opposite of love, but in many ways it is much more complicated. It also may be considered one of the dominant emotions of our time, as individuals, groups, and even nations express or enact hatred to varying degrees. What is hatred? Where does it come from, and what does it reveal about the hater? And is hatred always a bad thing? Brogaard makes a deep dive into the moral psychology of one of our most complex and vivid emotions.

Stoicism is a philosophy that was started in Ancient Greece, but this 2,000-year-old worldview is enjoying a modern rebirth.

By shifting your way of thinking you can eliminate unnecessary suffering, reshape your thought patterns, and achieve that sense of calm you've always wanted.

Wenn man über den Sinn des Lebens, seiner eigenen Existenz, sinniert, wenn man vor einer moralisch kontroversen Entscheidung steht und sich den Kopf über das Für und Wider zerbricht, dann fühlen sich wahrscheinlich die meisten zunächst rat- und hilflos. Die Philosophie kann einem dabei zunächst nicht helfen. Sie initiiert aber kritisches und reflexives Selber-Denken und gibt Anregungen, scheinbar Altbekanntes aus einer anderen Perspektive zu betrachten.

Romantic love presents some of life's most challenging questions. Can we choose who to love? Is romantic love rational? Can we love more than one person at a time? And can we make ourselves fall out of love? In On Romantic Love, Berit Brogaard attempts to get to the bottom of love's many contradictions.

The Feeling of Teaching is part of a larger project, Teaching through Emotions (TTE), developed by the author, Elizabeth Burris. Throughout the book, listeners are shown the power of emotion work: practicing self-awareness, describing, looking for good reasons, guessing, self-disclosing, listening, and planning. By doing emotion work, teachers can take full advantage of the emotional and relational data their students are constantly providing to shift their teaching and better attune with the learners in their classrooms.

Konservative bevorzugen Hunde, Progressive eher Katzen. Und Wutbürger sind eigentlich Ekelbürger. Hier werden keine Klischees bedient - sondern der Kern unserer Moral freigelegt. In diesem Hörbuch wirft der Philosoph und Bestsellerautor Philipp Hübl unter anderem die folgenden Fragen auf: Was wäre ich ohne meinen Charakter? Darf man zwischen Menschenleben abwägen? Wie entsteht Fremdenfeindlichkeit? Hübl zeigt, wie Emotionen unsere moralischen Urteile bestimmen. Wie unsere Werte und unsere politische Haltung in Gefühlsdispositionen verankert sind.

You may not realize it, but emotions create a larger impact on your life than you may think. They can form moods that stick around for days or even weeks.

Critical thinking is a skill every person should possess. Sadly, it is all too common to follow the heard, to get stuck in old patterns or traditions, and to not see through the lies and deception of the world, whether intended or unintended. Reasoning can be a dangerous place for those who do not have the power or will to think for themselves. Moreover, it requires a little bit of an intelligence level to do so, and a skeptical mind too. Nevertheless, no matter how you spin it, critical thinking is an important thing to learn more about.
