When writing fictional characters, it’s hugely important to convey their emotions effectively so readers will be drawn in and become invested in those characters.

Why do we value music? Many people report that listening to music is one of life's most rewarding activities. In Critique of Pure Music, James O. Young seeks to explain why this is so. Formalists tell us that music is appreciated as pure, contentless form. On this view, listeners receive pleasure, or a pleasurable 'musical' emotion, when they explore the abstract patterns found in music.

“Schadenfreude is a fascinating emotion, much neglected but obviously of great importance for practical ethics and moral psychology. Portmann’s book cuts across the intersection of current emotion theory, psychology, and ethics, and invites philosophical interaction with some classic literature on some of the nastier emotions. The author is obviously well read and has a rich store of literary and philosophical examples.” —Robert C. Solomon, author of The Joy of Philosophy
