Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author reinstates the personal as an important dimension in analytic philosophy of mind. She argues that the category of feelings has a unique role in psychological explanation: the expression of feelings is the attempt to communicate personal significance. To develop a model for affective meaning, the author moves attention away from the classic emotions to feelings which are more personal, inchoate and idiosyncratic.
