Introduction : from passions and affections to emotions -- Passions and affections in Augustine and Aquinas -- From movements to mechanisms : passions, sentiments and affections in the Age of Reason -- The Scottish creation of "the emotions" : David Hume, Thomas Brown, Thomas Chalmers -- The physicalist appropriation of Brownian emotions : Alexander Bain, Herbert Spencer, Charles Darwin -- Christian and theistic responses to the physicalist emotions paradigm -- What was an emotion in 1884?

Thomas Dixon shows how, during the nineteenth century, the emotions came into being as a distinct psychological category, displacing such concepts as appetites, passions, sentiments and affections. From Passions to Emotions is a significant contribution to that ongoing debate about emotion and rationality which has preoccupied thinkers across many disciplines
