The Heart and its Attitudes

In "Heart and its Attitudes," renowned philosopher Stephen Darwall delves into the often-overlooked realm of emotional connections, emphasizing their significance in our lives. Set to be published by Oxford University Press in 2024, this hardback edition spans 208 pages and invites readers to reflect on the essence of human relationships. Darwall argues that the mutual emotional vulnerability and sharing we experience in friendships and love are not just peripheral aspects of our existence, but rather central to what we truly cherish. He extends this exploration to our interactions with animals, highlighting the profound connections we can form across species. This thought-provoking work is a must-read for anyone interested in the philosophical underpinnings of love, friendship, and the emotional ties that bind us all.
