Full Description
This volume examines emotions and
emotional well-being from a rich variety of theological, philosophical and
scientific and therapeutic perspectives. To experience emotion is a part of
being human; but what are emotions? How can theology, philosophy and the
natural sciences unpack the nature and content of emotions? This volume is based on contributions to the
15th European Conference on Science and Theology held in Assisi, Italy. It
brings together contributions from scholars of various academic backgrounds from around the world, whose individual insights are made all the richer by
their juxtaposition with those from experts in other fields, leading to a
unique exchange of ideas.
