We humans love to believe that we act rationally, but the emotions take up a much more important part of our experience that most of us think. Richard Firth-Godbehere (United Kingdom) questions this supposed rationality in A Human History of Emotion, a book that analyses and studies the role of human feelings throughout universal history and culture. In conversation with Javier García del Moral, the author will talk about how the emotions, with all their complexity and diversity, have shaped the world in which we live. This fascinating book includes aspects of psychology, neuroscience, art, philosophy and religion.
