The Living with Feeling project

This project will explore how scientists and doctors, philosophers and politicians, patients and parents have grappled with emotions in relation to health. The team will connect the history and philosophy of medicine and emotions with contemporary science, medical practice and public policy to explore questions such as: who decides which emotions we should feel in order to be healthy? Research topics will include the anatomy of anger as a modern emotion and the relationships between religious, philosophical and scientific forms of therapy. “We will examine and analyse how different social groups have felt and perceived emotions like anger, worry, love, sadness, fear and ecstasy, in both the past and the present,” said Thomas Dixon, director of the Centre for the History of the Emotions at Queen Mary University of London.
