Summary: "The Psychology of the Emotions" by Th. Ribot is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the often neglected area of the psychology of feelings and emotions, discussing their nature, manifestations, and complexities. Ribot aims to clarify the essential distinctions between feelings and intellectual states, offering insights into how emotions arise and evolve within the human psyche. The opening of the text outlines the current state of emotional psychology, noting its confusion and underdevelopment compared to other psychological areas, such as perception and memory. Ribot distinguishes between two dominant theories: the intellectualist thesis, which views emotions as derived from cognitive processes, and the physiological thesis, which sees emotions as autonomous and rooted in biological conditions. He asserts that the study of emotions, though challenging, is crucial for understanding the depths of human experience and emotional life, setting the stage for a detailed analysis of various feelings and emotions throughout the subsequent chapters.
