The Routledge Handbook of Phenomenology of Emotion
The emotions occupy a fundamental place in philosophy, going back to Aristotle. However, the phenomenology of the emotions has until recently remained a relatively neglected topic. The Routledge Handbook of Phenomenology of Emotion is an outstanding guide and reference source to this important and fascinating topic. Comprising forty-nine chapters by a team of international contributors the Handbook covers the following topics:
- historical perspectives, including Brentano, Husserl, Sartre, Levinas and Arendt;
- contemporary debates, including existential feelings, emotion, affectivity, art and morality;
- self-directed and individual emotions, including happiness, grief, self-esteem and shame;
- social emotions, including sympathy, collective emotions, political emotions and aggressive emotions;
- borderline cases of emotion, including solidarity, trust, pain, and forgiveness and revenge.
Essential reading for students and researchers in philosophy studying phenomenology, ethics and moral psychology and philosophy of psychology, The Routledge Handbook of Phenomenology of Emotion is also suitable for those in related disciplines such as Religion, Sociology and Anthropology.

Hilge Landweer is Professor of Philosophy at Freie Universität Berlin, Germany.
"In sum, this handbook marks in every respect a notable achievement. On the one hand, it serves as an excellent guide for both graduate students and mature researchers; on the other hand, it points to new directions of inquiry that will surely be taken up by the next generation of scholars working on the phenomenology of emotion. Additionally, it should not be read merely as a snapshot of historical and current accounts of the phenomenology of affective experience, but as a genuine contribution to the trans- and interdisciplinary body of emotion research." - Marco Cavallaro, Husserl Studies
"A research-oriented anthology ideally should provide the reader/researcher with an extensive historical perspective, a comprehensive overview of current debates/controversies, and an opening to new issues for ongoing study. Editors Szanto and Landweer deliver a comprehensive collection satisfying precisely these conditions[.] ... Overall, the book is an exploration of areas central to the ongoing study of emotions for the further development of phenomenology in contemporary philosophy/psychology: tensions between collective/individual emotions, affective intentionality in the framing of emotional discourse, consciousness and the world-disclosing aspects of emotions, the important identity-fulfilling function of emotions, and the authentic/inauthentic evaluative movement of emotions informing moralities. ... Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates. Graduate students and faculty." - J. Gough, Choice
