Please sign in so that we can notify you about a reply
A large -scale and excitingly written study of how emotions influenced the course of human history and how our perception of emotions evolved with us.
We, people, like to think about ourselves as reasonable creatures, who, as a type, relied on intelligence to survive. But many of the most important points in our history had nothing to do with cold facts, but were related to feelings.
In this book, Doctor of Sciences Richard Fert-Godbeher talks about emotions in the context of different eras and different cultures-ancient Greece, Ghana, Japan, the Ottoman Empire, the USA, China and Russia. Based on psychology, neurobiology, philosophy, art and the history of religion, it gives an exhaustive idea of this aspect of being, which is rarely taken into account in humanitarian research.
In each of the chapters, the author considers certain historical periods and regions, thus constituting a complete picture of how emotions formed the modern world in all its diversity. With examples, he demonstrates how our understanding and experience of emotions changed over time and how our ideas about feelings - along with the feelings themselves - largely formed us the world in which we live.
