Passionate Engines - What Emotions Reveal about the Mind and Artificial Intelligence (Hardcover)

DeLancey shows that our best philosophical and scientific understanding of the emotions provides essential insights on key questions in the philosophy of mind and artificial intelligence. This is the first such book to offer this perspective. Passionate Engines also provides a bold new approach to the study of the mind based on the latest scientific research and along the way, provides an accessible overview of the science of emotion, with minimal jargon and explanation of the technical issues that arise. It is accessible to a wide range of readers, including philosophers, psychologists, computer scientists, and others in disciplines touching on cognitive science.
