The book offers a systematic study of selected aesthetic and moral emotions, such as beauty, admiration, disgust, anger, guilt, and the feeling of (in)justice. The authors contemplate the possibilities of their conceptual grasp and describe their psychosomatic phenomena from a ?rst-person perspective. They focus on a hermeneutic-phenomenological-existential analysis of the fundamental elements, structure, and signi?cance of these types of emotions in both individual and collective human experiences. Additionally, they provide interdisciplinary insights into the subject, enabling the comprehension of these emotional states from various perspectives, including linguistic, psychological, philosophical, cognitive scienti?c, legal, and theological. They document that we are not rational systems that have emotions, but rather emotional systems that occasionally behave rationally. The text simultaneously outlines a new theory of emotions and explores the possibilities for their linguistic apprehension through the geometry of thought.
