The Routledge Handbook of Phenomenology of Emotion

"In sum, this handbook marks in every respect a notable achievement. On the one hand, it serves as an excellent guide for both graduate students and mature researchers; on the other hand, it points to new directions of inquiry that will surely be taken up by the next generation of scholars working on the phenomenology of emotion. Additionally, it should not be read merely as a snapshot of historical and current accounts of the phenomenology of affective experience, but as a genuine contribution to the trans- and interdisciplinary body of emotion research." - Marco Cavallaro, Husserl Studies

"A research-oriented anthology ideally should provide the reader/researcher with an extensive historical perspective, a comprehensive overview of current debates/controversies, and an opening to new issues for ongoing study. Editors Szanto and Landweer deliver a comprehensive collection satisfying precisely these conditions[.] ... Overall, the book is an exploration of areas central to the ongoing study of emotions for the further development of phenomenology in contemporary philosophy/psychology: tensions between collective/individual emotions, affective intentionality in the framing of emotional discourse, consciousness and the world-disclosing aspects of emotions, the important identity-fulfilling function of emotions, and the authentic/inauthentic evaluative movement of emotions informing moralities. ... Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates. Graduate students and faculty." - J. Gough, Choice
