Feeling and imagination : the vibrant flux of our existence
"In this book, Irving Singer illustrates how we create our world, in part, through what we call our "feelings." That catchall word covers a large variety of attitudes, dispositions, sentiments, emotions, intuitions, inclinations, and kinesthetic sensations. He offers a view of the affective dimension in our being that supplements, but does not duplicate, scientific inquiry. Feeling always exists in some interaction with cognitive structures. It cannot be wholly separated from them, yet it typically lends itself to an approach that is more characteristic of the humanities than of the sciences."--Jaquette du livre
