Philosophy has as much to do with feelings as it does with thoughts and thinking. It requires not only emotional sensitivity but an understanding of the emotions. This book presents a defence of the emotions and of sentimentality against the background of a long history of abuse in philosophy, social thought, art, and literary criticism.
