Description
Ralph Ellis' new book develops an enactive account of emotions that makes room for 'higher' and even 'existential' ones. This view of the higher emotions puts them right at the centre of our most basic motivational structure. His book is unusually wide ranging, extending from the neurophysiology of how emotions are activated to discussing Maslow's 'self-actualization'.
