This volume is distinctive in its focus on foundational questions concerning the categorization and conceptualization of emotion. It is also unique in its degree of collaboration among scholars working in different disciplines and in a vast range of ancient traditions. This book aims to build on the resources of these traditions to make an intervention in how we might think about emotions today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x_x_elementToProof\" data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"\u003eCurie Virág is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Warwick, UK.
