Reviews
The book is densely and carefully argued and its explanatory scope is highly ambitious ... On the whole, the book lives up entirely to its title. Hufendiek offers a carefully developed alternative to the lasting debate between cognitivists and feeling theories and overcomes what she sees as shortcomings of alternative theories. -- Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences Rebekka Hufendiek presents and defends a position on emotions which is critical both of existing cognitivist as well as embodied and enactive approaches. She agrees with embodied approaches that cognitivists overintellectualize emotions and neglect the importance of the body. Yet she also is dissatisfied with the main embodied and enactive accounts ... The book is well organized, and the prose is clear ... If the book is seen as an exploration of where these ideas lead, as testing the waters rather than as offering a fully elaborated novel theory of emotions, it can be said to achieve its goals. -- Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
