Conference themes<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

How do emotions relate to the self?\u00a0 On one possible view, emotions stand outside the self: they reflect biological drives or cultural demands independent of\u2014perhaps even inimical to\u2014the subject\u2019s own interests or values; when we act out of emotion, we are driven to act by psychological forces external to ourselves.
\nBut on another view, our emotional dispositions help to constitute<\/em> who we are; words and deeds that come \u2018from the heart\u2019 are judged to have a special kind of worth, arising from their authenticity. In everyday contexts, people seem to think about emotion in both these ways, depending on the situation. But can these two views be reconciled? And if not, which view comes closer to the truth?
\nThe purpose of this conference was to throw light on these questions, capitalising on the progress that has been made in the philosophy of emotion in recent years, as well as drawing on studies in the history of philosophy and on a range of philosophical traditions.<\/span><\/p>\n
