What Is Emotion? by Jerome Kagan
Examines what exactly we do know about emotions, which popular assumptions about emotions are incorrect, and how scientific study must proceed if we are to uncover the answers to persistent and evasive questions about emotions. This book explores the evidence for great variation in the frequency and intensity of emotion among different cultures.
"'Kagan.. surveys a broad range of qualitative ideas from anthropology, psychology, and neurobiology to discuss the complexity of emotion as we know it. The book provides a guideline to the challenges to be met before the range and overlap of our joy, rage, and sadness can be understood.' Science News"
