Knowing by Heart : Loving as Participation and Critique Hardback
by Anthony J. Steinbock
Part of the Studies in Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy series
Hardback
Description
Drawing on and developing the phenomenological work of figures such as Edmund Husserl and Max Scheler, Knowing by Heart: Loving as Participation and Critique provides an account of the various feelings and feeling-states that pertain to matters of the heart.
Anthony J. Steinbock’s work investigates the special kind of knowing that is revealed most profoundly through love. Knowing by Heart describes the movement of loving as a participation that bears on all beings.
Eschewing the dichotomy of rationalism and sensibility that has dominated discussions of love and emotion, Steinbock understands the heart as a vast schema ranging from the deepest loving to affects and felt conditions.
The book brings into focus the importance of a full-bodied relational account of a normative critique based in emotion.
From a phenomenological description of diverse feelings to the normativity of loving as the discernment of the heart, this work evaluates hating’s relation to loving.
At the basis of all this is a phenomenological and philosophical anthropology in response to the basic question: In reality, who and what are we?
