Joy, sorrow, jealousy and awe - these and other feelings are the stuff of our daily lives. Thought to be too private for science to explain and not essential for understanding cognition, they have largely been ignored. But not by Spinoza and not by Antonio Damasio. In "Looking for Spinoza" , Damasio, one of the world's leading neuroscientists, draws on his innovative research and on his experience with neurological patients to examine how feelings and the emotions that underlie them support human survival and enable the spirit's greatest creations. "Looking for Spinoza" rediscovers a thinker whose work prefigures modern neuroscience, not only in his emphasis on emotions and feelings but in his refusal to separate mind and body. Together, the scientist and the philosopher help us understand what we are made of and what we are here for.
