What is an emotion, and how is it connected with reasons and actions? Greenspan presents a novel anti-Cartesian, anti-`judgementalist' account of the emotions.

In Emotions and Reasons, Patricia Greenspan offers an evaluative theory of emotion that assigns emotion a role of its own in the justification of action. She analyzes emotions as states of object-directed affect with evaluative propositional content possibly falling short of belief and held in mind by generalized comfort or discomfort.

Patricia S. Greenspan writes on topics in philosophical psychology and ethics.
