Not surprisingly, then, emotion research is currently one of the hottest topics in the field of psychology. Yet to divine the nature of emotion is a complex and extensive task. In this book emotions are approached thought an exploration of the nature of cognition in emotion; the nature of thoughts in feelings. Different approaches to emotions are explored, from brain research to research at the level of experience, and it is argued that all approaches must seriously take into account the experiential dimension. A qualitative study of experiences with art is therefore presented, as emotions and cognition are often expressed in experiences with art. It is the first study of its kind. Descriptions of various affective phenomena are then given which have significant implications for contemporary debates about emotions, resolving several contemporary controversies.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52350746427665,"sku":"NLS9789042023338","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9789042023338.jpg?v=1768561658"},{"product_id":"subject-of-aesthetics-book-tone-roald-9789004308718","title":"The Subject of Aesthetics","description":"In The Subject of Aesthetics Tone Roald develops a psychology of art based on people's descriptions of their own engagement with visual art","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52589037551889,"sku":"NLS9789004308718","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52692934328593,"sku":"NIN9789004308718","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9789004308718.jpg?v=1768558450"},{"product_id":"art-and-identity-book-tone-roald-9789042036345","title":"Art and Identity","description":"Art has the capacity to shape and alter our identities. It can influence who and what we are. Those who have had aesthetic experiences know this intimately, and yet the study of art’s impact on the mind struggles to be recognized as a centrally important field within the discipline of psychology. The main thesis of \u003ci\u003eArt and Identity\u003c\/i\u003e is that aesthetic experience represents a prototype for meaningful experience, warranting intense philosophical and psychological investigation. Currently psychology remains too closed-off from the rich reflection of philosophical aesthetics, while philosophy continues to be sceptical of the psychological reduction of art to its potential for subjective experience. At the same time, philosophical aesthetics cannot escape making certain assumptions about the psyche and benefits from entering into a dialogue with psychology. \u003ci\u003eArt and Identity\u003c\/i\u003e brings together philosophical and psychological perspectives on aesthetics in order to explore how art creates minds.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52592282894609,"sku":"NLS9789042036345","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9789042036345.jpg?v=1768561235"},{"product_id":"varieties-of-aesthetic-experience-book-tone-roald-9781503647404","title":"Varieties of Aesthetic Experience","description":"\u003cp\u003eTone Roald creates a new foundation for aesthetics by taking seriously real-life experiences with works of art.
