“But, oh, to get involved in the exchange / Of human emotions / Is ever so, ever so satisfying.” – Bjork, “Human Behaviour”

After decades of neglect, the philosophical study of emotion and related phenomena has witnessed something of a resurgence in the last fifty years. Recent developments in cognitive science and moral psychology have spurred this renewed interest, and scholars working in diverse areas have begun to grapple with this phenomenologically potent dimension of human existence.

The Georgetown University Philosophy Department invites submissions related to the theme “Emotions and Emotionality.” Possible topics include: the nature and ontology of emotion; distinctions between varieties of emotion or between emotion and other states, such as mood; emotions and practical and theoretical rationality; emotional expression through behavior, language, or art; emotions and morality; emotions and epistemology; emotions and politics; emotions and cognitive science, psychology, and evolutionary biology; historical theories of emotion and emotionality; emotions and gender; etc.
