Extractions: The Emotion Project at King's College London The function of the emotions: an investigation into their evolutionary role and an exploration of the philosophical consequences An AHRB-funded research project based in the Department of Philosophy, King's College London. September 1999 - September 2002 Aim of the project: The aim of this research project was to cast light on the emotions by identifying their evolutionary function, and to apply this understanding to a number of philosophical issues. Contemporary philosophy has devoted a great deal of attention to the role played by rational beliefs and desires in human psychology, but very little to the distinctive role of such emotions as anger, sadness and jealousy. We believe that the best way to make philosophical progress with the emotions is to apply the general principle that the nature of psychological categories derives from their evolutionary function. Project members: The members of the project were all either staff or postgraduate students in the Department of Philosophy at King's College London.

Extractions: Rationality and the Emotions Jon Elster In an earlier paper (Elster, 1989 a ), I discussed the relation between rationality and social norms. Although I did mention the role of the emotions in sustaining social norms, I did not focus explicitly on the relation between rationality and the emotions. That relation is the main topic of the present paper, with social norms in a subsidiary part. Economists, as we know, have done nothing of the kind. Recent economic work on the emotions (Hirshleifer, 1987; Frank, 1988) focuses exclusively on the role of the emotions in sustaining (or preventing) cooperative interactions. No economist to my knowledge has considered the emotions in their main role as providers of pleasure, happiness, satisfaction, or utility. To put it crudely, economists have totally neglected the most important aspect of their subject matter . No doubt there are reasons for this neglect. One is the lack of a metric. If you asked someone whether he prefers shame or grief - whether he would rather be caught cheating at an exam or have his girl friend leave him - he would probably be at a loss for an answer. The emotions themselves, in fact, interfere with our ability to observe them. (Montaigne cites Petrarch to the effect that 'He who can describe how his heart is ablaze is burning on a small pyre'.) Another reason - which ought, however, to be a challenge rather than an excuse - may be the lack of good theories of how emotions are triggered and transformed in encounters with the world. A further reason may be that

Extractions: Elster, Jon, editor The Roundtable Talks and the Breakdown of Communism . vi, 248 p. 1996 Series: (CEE) Constitutionalism in Eastern Europe Cloth $45.00sp 0-226-20628-9 Spring 1996 In 1989 and 1990, Eastern European Communist regimes and opposition groups conducted a series of roundtable talks to peacefully negotiate the abolition of authoritarian rule and the transition to democratic governance. This volume documents that unprecedented process of national reinvention and constitution making. These essays capture the historical circumstances of these countriestheir traditions, customs, and the balance of influence between competing factionsthat often took precedence over constitutional ideals. In five country-specific reports, senior scholars provide detailed accounts of the talks in Bulgaria, Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and the German Democratic Republic. Also included is an essay on the political factors underlying the failure of negotiations between reform groups and the Chinese regime, providing an illuminating counterpoint to the path taken in Eastern Europe. This book is an invaluable resource for scholars of constitutional design and democratization and for specialists in Eastern Europe.
