    • Special Elicitors of Emotions
    • Emotions and Their Relations to Other Elements of Mental Architecture
    • Emotions in Children, Animals and Groups
    • Normative Aspects of Emotions

Most of the major themes of contemporary emotion theory are covered in their historical, philosophical, and scientific dimensions.
