Description

This volume brings together new analytic and continental philosophic work on the nature of affectivity. Areas represented include philosophy of mind, epistemology, and philosophy of language. But such traditional designations fail to do justice to the new ground broken here. Topics include the nature of moods and emotions, the character of images, the relations between affective states and representational content/intentional states. Particular affective phenomena explored include shame, guilt, regret, grief, and alienation.

During his 51-year career in academia he has also been a professor of philosophy at the University of Minnesota, Morris, Dalhousie University, and Northern Arizona University. Dr. French earned a B.A. from Gettysburg College, an M.A. from the University of Southern California, and a Ph.D. from the University of Miami, and did post doctoral work at Oxford University.

Some of his works have been translated into Chinese, Japanese, German, Italian, French, Serbian, and Spanish. Dr. French also was the editor of the Journal of Social Philosophy.
