"...[T]here is much of value to be found in this volume." --Journal of the History of Philosophy

"This excellent volume provides a valuable overview of medieval debates about how to situate the passions within the mind and the role of the passions in cognition.... It is essential reading for anyone interested in the burgeoning field of work on the history of the passions and for contemporary philosophers interested in the connection between emotions and cognition."--Matthew J. Kisner, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
