Reviews for Self and Emotional Life: Philosophy, Psychoanalysis, and Neuroscience
Self and Emotional Life is a timely and wholly original intervention into one of the most debated questions of recent years: the place of the affects in psychoanalytic, neuroscientific, and philosophical accounts of the subject.
