Emotions (2016)
The paradoxes of emotion
Motions are at the heart of our behaviour. Long thought to be naïve and opposed to reason, they are now the subject of a kind of empowerment but also of paradoxical injunctions. Inherent in cognitive processes, decision-making and social relations, they can also seriously disrupt them when they are not properly managed. How are emotions considered by poets, judges, leaders and doctors?
