Patrick Colm Hogan Libri

This book explores emotion in a range of literary works, in the context of current neurobiological, psychological, sociological and other empirical research.

The book provides an in-depth exploration of colonialism, detailing its mechanisms and implications through a multidisciplinary lens. By integrating insights from cognitive science, affective science, social psychology, and Marxist theory, it offers a comprehensive understanding of the complexities surrounding colonial practices and their impact on societies.

In an original study, Patrick Colm Hogan brings the insights of global comparative literature to bear on central issues of ethics. A compelling, narrative-based explanation of humans' otherwise baffling array of ethical attitudes, this book also offers a thought-provoking defence of particular ethical norms, based on a re-understanding of empathy.
