This groundbreaking book by a leading neurologist concerns the brain science of emotion and its implications for decision-making in general and social behaviour in particular. Published in 1994, it continues to attract the attention of neuro-scientists, philosophers and the general public with its proposal that reasoning evolved as an extension of the automatic emotional system, and emotion plays multiple roles in the reasoning process.
