Check our these excellent articles by Benjamin Matheson and Alba Montes Sanchez! Both use parenthood to explore very different questions: while Matheson's original three-book review dives into anxiety, guilt & pride, Montes Sanchez discusses how emotion helps knowing what we really want.

Are Emotions Key to Political Engagement? The Case of Environmental Mitigation

Constant Bonard @cbonard.bsky.social · 17/03/2026

Do emotions drive political engagement?  A busy pizzeria takes many orders and makes many pizzas, but its busyness doesn’t *cause* these, except via feedback effects. Likewise, I argue here, emotions correlate with new evaluations and motivations, but don’t *cause* them, except via feedback effects.

People often complain that philosophy doesn't generate knowledge like the sciences. Sometimes you even here this from philosophers! They point to the interminable debates in philosophy (like utilitarianism vs deontology) as evidence for this claim. This is wrong, however.
