On the temporality of emotions : an essay on grief, anger, and love /

Berislav Marusić investigates a puzzle about our emotions and their relation to time: grief and anger tend to diminish even when the reasons for them remain, but love feels like it should be lasting. Marusić argues that it is rational for these emotions to be experienced like this.
