Upheavals of Thought: The Intelligence of Emotions by Martha C. Nussbaum

"In this volume, Martha Nussbaum offers a rigorous and luminous account of the emotions as cognitive appraisals of value. The implications for living well together, in a world increasingly understood as interdependent, are considerable. Her account is no less than an ethical foundation for the rehabilitation of the social emotions and we deny these appraisals of what can connect us to one another at our great peril."
