This book explores moral questions that go beyond the issues commonly considered        in the ethics of action. Can there be an ethics of emotion or an ethics of fantasy?        If what we feel and what we think are beyond the direct control of our will, does it        make sense to set norms or standards for us to aim at in those spheres, or does        anything go? What are the limits of our freedom? And what are the sources of our        standards? Are they themselves a matter of arbitrary feeling or do there exist        authorities we might turn to in order to find our way? We are told that authenticity        is valuable, that we must be true to ourselves. Is the self and what it wants the        ultimate source of value? (Even the nastier parts of our natures?) How are we to        determine which aspects of ourselves are essential and demand and deserve        expression? Are there competing and conflicting sources of value? The claims of        Plato, Freud, Sartre and other important thinkers are considered, criticized, and        brought into play in the service of greater self-understanding and understanding of        what matters and what is up to us. Throughout, the insights and approaches of law,        psychoanalysis, anthropology, and other disciplines in addition to philosophy are        put to use. The essays included in this collection draw on and develop the author's        earlier work on emotions and moral identity in the Spinozist hope that greater        self-understanding, because of the special features of reflexive-knowledge, can lead        to greater freedom, making us better able to live with others and with        ourselves."e;Philosophy of emotion and Freudian theory are now thriving areas of        philosophy, but they were not when Neu began; he was instrumental in making them so.          His essays on emotion, particularly the classic papers on jealousy, helped pave the        way for the rehabilitation of emotion that has transformed moral philosophy. There        is every reason to believe, then, that the present collection will stand as a        significant contribution to scholarship on Freud, Emotion, and Morality."e; - John        Doris, Philosophy, Washington University in St. Louis"e;Jerome Neu is one of the most        insightful contemporary writers on the philosophy of emotions. His first essay        collection, A Tear is an Intellectual Thing, was a major contribution to our        thinking about the nature of emotions (in general and with respect to particular        emotions) and their important implications in the actual texture of our moral lives.          This essay collection is a worthy successor and provides a rich analysis of        particular emotions (love, for example), an exploration of the relationship between        emotions and authenticity and freedom, enlightening discussions of Freud and his        critics, and the role of emotions in the law."e; - Jeffrie G. Murphy, Law, Philosophy,        and Religious Studies, Arizona State University
