Rough list of topics that interest me:

  • The interaction between epistemology (reason, understanding, wisdom) and the passions/emotions/affect.

  • Emotions in aesthetics (including literature, music, visual arts), whether it is the artist trying to capture something or the audience response.

  • Emotion as a kind of social epistemology that spreads through contagion (see Spinoza, Deleuze & Guattari).

  • Various works from positive psychology on the emotions.

  • The humors and temperament.

  • General history of ideas of the passions and emotions.

  • Appeals to pathos in rhetoric.

  • The "cognitive passions": wonder, curiosity, ecstasy, awe, surprise, amazement, enchantment, etc.

  • The affective aspects of magic, illusions, myth, fairy tales, etc.
