Summary:

In this study William Lyons presents a sustained and coherent theory
of the emotions, and one which draws extensively on the work of
psychologists and physiologists in the area. Dr Lyons starts by
giving a thorough and critical survey of other principal theories,
before setting out his own 'causal-evaluative' account. In addition
to giving an analysis of the nature of emotion - in which, Dr Lyon
argues, evaluative attitudes play a crucial part - his theory throws
light on the motivating role of emotions in our lives, our attitudes
towards our emotions and our responsibility for them.
