Emotion, Cognition, and the Virtue of Flexibility 1st Edition Ebook (nilibook.shop)

Emotion, Cognition, and the Virtue of FlexibilityShould emotions play a role in our decisions, even if they are “just feelings” and not necessarily “imbued with reason” or cognitively penetrated’ The author shows that such basic feelings as aversion and attraction can be important normative guides by disrupting engrained habits and beliefs, enabling us to reconsider our ways, which is important due to the ever-changing nature of ethical demands on us. Therefore, these feelings should guide our decisions, even if they are not cognitive. This book fi lls a gap in the philosophy of emotions, ethics, and virtue epistemology.
