Philosophy is like sex: sure you can get some interesting results, but that's not why we do it. Going one step beyond…why do you FEEL pain or pleasure? Do plants have emotions? How is possible that some people do not understand other’s emotions? Emotions seem to be everywhere, giving meaning to all events of our lives. They are the backbone of social activities as well as they drive the cognitive processes of several living entities. Several animals, including humans, have emotions but…what about machines?...Do machine can have emotions?

TOP REVIEWS FROM EMOTIONS: A PHILOSOPHICAL INTRODUCTION
This course has given me different dimension of thinking about human behavior.. Thank you!!
It is a good introductory course. However I feel a more elaborate description of the content would be even more helpful
Learned a lot about being a human as an entity and not just as a specie. A human is made of emotions and this course guides you to perfectly understand that just right. Happy to complete it.
So much fun and really digs deep into our understanding of emotion.
