Deeper than Reason takes the insights of modern scientific research on the emotions and uses them to illuminate questions about our emotional involvement with the arts. Robinson begins by laying out a theory of emotion; one that is supported by the best evidence from current empirical work; and then in the light of this theory examines some of the ways in which the emotions function in the arts. Written in a clear and engaging style; her book will make fascinating reading for anyone interested in the emotions and how they work; as well as anyone engaged with the arts and aesthetics; especially with questions about emotional expression in the arts; emotional experience of art forms; and; more generally; artistic interpretation.

Good; if not for stolen materielBy CustomerI enjoyed this book but I was very dismayed to find out that the bulk of the photos were stolen from noted Charleston photographer Jerry Waters of [...] who was in the process of making a similar book of his own.
