The Element presents both the universalist and anti-universalist positions, and concludes by considering attempts to move beyond this increasingly unhelpful binary.

  • Summary

    So far, this book has focused on cognitive aspects of the mind. This chapter introduces the emerging area of affective science and emotion studies, which has gathered impetus in recent years. The first section reviews early theories of human emotions from Herbert Simon and Paul Ekman. The second section looks at how affective scientists explore emotions from a multidimensional perspective, introducing some new techniques in affective neuroscience. The last section draws the different strands together through the case study of fear, looking in particular at the neurobiology and neuroscience of fear.
