Focusing on the valuation of emotions, this book presents a fresh perspective in the philosophy of emotion, moving beyond traditional discussions on their nature and ethical implications. It argues that emotions can be assessed for their adequacy, suggesting a nuanced understanding of emotional experiences. This exploration aims to deepen the discourse surrounding emotions and their significance in ethical considerations.

What does it mean for emotion to be well-constituted? This book seeks to show that the answer to such questions becomes clearer if we realise that for an emotion to be all it seems, it must be responsible as well as responsive to what it is about. It also demonstrates that there can be problems of a structural kind with the adequacy of emotions.
