Dean Summary This volume seeks to provide greater historical depth to the current fascination with emotions across a wide range of academic disciplines. A central claim of the book is that the relatively recent (1990s and 2000s) neuroscientific study of emotion did not initiate - but instead consolidated - the emotional turn by clearing the ground for a range of work on the emotions, now unencumbered by the post-war stigma of irrationalism. Emotion studies in the social sciences and even in the humanities now can work around the postwar binaries of reason vs. emotion, rationality vs. irrationalism Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record SUBJECT Umschulungswerkstätten für Siedler und Auswanderer Bitterfeld gnd Europa gnd Subject Emotions -- Psychological aspects Affective neuroscience -- History -- 20th century Psychology -- Germany -- History -- 20th century Psychology -- United States -- History -- 20th century Emotions.
