The Vehement Passions
Philip Fisher
Breaking off the ordinary flow of experience, the passions create a state of exception. Intense states have come to be seen as symptoms of pathology. From Aristotle to Hume to contemporary biology, this work finds evidence that the passions have defined a core of human nature no less important than reason or desire.
