Abstract
Christine Tappolet’s Philosophy of Emotion: A Contemporary Introduction is a comprehensive inventory of recent developments in the philosophy of emotion. Part 2 of the book examines various theories that answer the first question from chapter 1: What is the essence of emotions? My commentary compares these theories with Amélie Oksenberg Rorty’s argument for a skeptical answer to this question.

La deuxième partie du livre examine diverses theories qui répondent à la première question du chapitre 1 : quelle est l’essence des émotions ?
