Furtak begins with a critical examination of the ancient Stoic position that emotions ought to be avoided by rational human beings. He argues that, on the contrary, emotions ought to be understood as embodying a kind of authentic insight, which enables us to attain a meaningful and truthful way of seeing the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFurtak's positive alternative to Stoicism draws heavily on the writings of S ren Kierkegaard, particularly \"Either\/Or\" and \"Works of Love,\" while also engaging with a wide range of other relevant philosophical, literary, and religious sources. He argues that a morality of virtue and narrative awareness is necessary for accurate emotional perception, and then attempts to define a qualified value realism based upon a reverential trust in love as the ground of life as we know it. The outcome of this inquiry into the possibility of reliable emotion is an account of the ideal state in which a person could trust himself or herself to be rational in being passionate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWisdom in Love\u003c\/i\u003e makes an original contribution to the philosophy of the emotions and provides a new and compelling interpretation of Kierkegaard's work as a whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRick Anthony Furtak is associate professor of philosophy at Colorado College.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 250\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.71 x 9 x 6.06 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 04, 2005\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42107539882064,"sku":"9780268028749","price":59.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/9540\/0016\/files\/eHJ6QXFQNkhIQ0VRcVZRQ3NnYjVudz09.webp?v=1772380823","url":"https:\/\/palm-malen-gift-shop-pmrc.myshopify.com\/products\/wisdom-in-love-kierkegaard-and-the-ancient-quest-for-emotional-integrity-paperback","provider":"Palm Malen Gift Shop -PMRC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
