Description:
In this book Irving Singer tries to show how we create our world, in part, through what we call our "feelings". That catch-all word covers a large variety of attitudes, dispositions, sentiments, emotions, intuitions, inclinations, and kinesthetic sensations. He offers a view of the affective dimension in our being which supplements, but does not duplicate, scientific inquiry. Feeling always exists in some interaction with cognitive structures. It cannot be wholly separated from them. Yet it typically lends itself to an approach that is more characteristic of the humanities than of the sciences. That is the approach Singer takes.
Expand description
The author has previously made forays into the realm of affect in his writings on love, sex, compassion, and conditions such as friendship and a religious or cosmic sense of oneness. In this book he cuts across the gamut of human feeling, inspecting it more fully though sometimes with concepts broached in those earlier stages of development. By portraying how feeling relies upon imagination, and through imagination upon idealization, consummation, and the aesthetic, Singer attempts to draw a family picture that will present the basic lineaments of sex, love, and compassion as well as the other stations of the spectrum to which they belong.
