Abstract

Taking Care of Emotions, Taking Care with Emotions.

Emotions and care are prejudged terms in the history of western thinking. The Cartesian dualism res cogitans / res extensa (mind / body), direct successor of the ancient philosophy, is the predominant paradigm. This book is an attempt to rebuild the imaginaries of the emotional sphere and care system, giving them a new life and perspective. The philosophical theories and the empirical researches of human and social sciences will show that care is neither gender-oriented, nor only a medical issue or a private affair. 

Through an inter-disciplinary and complex approach, the different authors will propose caregiving as an inclusive cognitive paradigm, capable of overcoming instrumental rationality. The relevance of the text for Italian academy is undeniable: now emotions have a real space, no longer marginal and secondary, in the Humanities.
