Synopses & ReviewsReview:"Dr. Kagan's book is chock-full of interesting and clever observations as well as novel insights. It is very different from other recent books on emotion and makes a definite contribution to the field."-Lisa Feldman Barrett, Review:"Kagan's erudition is rare, and his commentary on issues in emotion theory and research is interesting and controversial."-Carroll E. Izard, Review:"Be prepared to read a brilliant, erudite, fascinating, and provocative work. Written by one of the few scholars who kept the study of emotion alive when once no one cared, this book tackles the results of the recent flood of emotion studies stemming from the "Affect Revolution." Professor Kagans book is simultaneously a critical synthesis of fact and theory in contemporary emotion studies, and a controversial set of proposals for the future. This tome may be the authors most provocative and potentially impactful of his many books to date."-Joseph J. Campos, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology, "Just when it seemed impossible to say anything new about human emotions, Jerome Kagan provides us with a fresh perspective on one of psychologys foundational puzzles. Professor Kagan, whose productive career has been characterized by a razor-sharp intellect and at times contrarian stance, challenges investigators who are content to define emotions by their consequences and functions or constrain their study of emotions to events in the brain. Kagan believes we should stop wrangling about the definition of emotion and focus, instead, on what we can observe and describe . . . two things he had done as a research psychologist for half-century as well as anyone."-Peter Salovey, Dean of | |||||||||
