Overview
Philosophy is like sex: sure, you can get some interesting results, but that's not why we do it. Going one step beyond…why do you feel pain or pleasure? Do plants have emotions? How is it possible that some people do not understand others’ emotions? Emotions seem to be everywhere, giving meaning to all events of our lives. They are the backbone of social activities and drive the cognitive processes of several living entities. Several animals, including humans, have emotions but…what about machines? Do machines have emotions?
This course will help you understand and identify the most important philosophical ideas and debates about emotions. It will also provide a rich source of data about the neurological, psychological, and anthropological analysis of emotions. In a nutshell, this is a course to feel and think about.
