Spinoza Avait Raison by Antonio Damasio
Joy, Sorrow, and the Feeling Brain
An accessible blend of neuroscience and philosophy arguing that emotions and feelings are biological processes essential to reason and consciousness; it traces how feelings arise from the brain’s mapping of body states, explains neural mechanisms underlying emotions and their role in decision-making and social behavior, challenges Cartesian mind–body dualism by showing how feelings constitute a core of the self, and connects these findings to ethical and social questions to show how the biology of feeling helps illuminate human values and moral judgment.
