Synopsis
Slote Argues That Emotion Is, On Conceptual Grounds, Involved In All Human Thought And Action, Rather Than Merely Being Causally Connected With Other Aspects Of The Mind. Hume Did Not Advocate This Kind Of General Sentimentalism About The Mind, And The Book's Main Arguments And Conclusions Are Only Very Partially Anticipated In German Romanticism And In The Chinese Philosophical Tendency To Avoid Rigid Distinctions Between Thought And Emotion.
