Emotion
William Lyons presents a survey of psychological and physiological theories on emotions. Once the background is established, Lyons analyses his own theory, which throws light on the motivating role of emotions in our lives, our attitudes towards our emotions and our responsibility for them.
Tales of Small Adventure
“Silence of Midnight” This story is about a teenage girl who lost her mother from cancer. She and her father decided to take a trip to visit his sister down South, unknowing of the events that would take place on their journey. “Sweet Voice Afar” This story was told to me by my father one day while we were fishing at a river. Nothing was biting and there was nothing for us to do. He told me about his adventure in the great Pine Run Forest. “A Reporter’s Hunch” This is a story about a young reporter, named Frank Ross, who falls in love with writing. Not only just writing, but he wants to write down to earth, like getting involved with whoever he is writing about. To him, this is...
Approaches to Intentionality
Professor Lyons in this book both explores others' approaches to intentionality and expounds his own. Part I gives a critical account of the five most comprehensive and prominent contemporary approaches to intentionality. These approaches can be summarised as the instrumentalist approach, derived from Carnap and Quine and culminating in the work of Daniel Dennett; the linguistic approach, derived from the work of Chomsky and exhibited most fully in the work of Jerry Fodor; the biological approach, developed by Ruth Garrett Millikan, Colin McGinn, and others; the information-processing approach.
All the Hours
ALL THE HOURS is a play in the form of a monologue by a nun with a Greek chorus of four psalm-chanting nuns, ending with a brief passage of dialogue. The scene is a convent cell over a single day sometime towards the end of the 20th century. 'The Liturgy of the Hours', which regulates the life of a Cistercian abbey gives the play its structure. The nun, who has been many years in the abbey, has been confined to her cell for a serious breach of The Rule. The drama unfolds in pared back, mischievous and emotive language in a profound examination of the fragility of religious belief, the difficulties of grafting the supernatural onto the natural, and the very idea of a religious vocation. William Lyons' autobiographical memoir about his onetime intimate relationship with a religious way of life serves as the introduction to the play.
The Disappearance of Introspection
William Lyons presents an original thesis on introspection as self-interpretation in terms of a culturally influenced model.
Socrates and his Clouds
Strepsiades lives in Greece. He has debt. A lot of debt. And that’s because his son, Phiddy, has a penchant for betting and isn’t so keen on working. At a loss, Streps has an idea: Phiddy can go to Socrates' Academy and learn how to talk himself out of trouble! Job done! What could possibly go wrong? Socrates and His Clouds, inspired by Aristophanes' Clouds and Plato's Dialogues, is a serio-comic drama about the fragility of morality, the hazards of education and the burdens of being a teacher.
The Death Dealers
After receiving praise for inventing a new device that will revolutionize our nation’s war on drugs, Steve fi nds himself under attack from a mysterious organization that is bent on world domination. As he searches for the truth behind a massive conspiracy against him, he must endure several unusual trials. Firstly, he must heed the warnings of a former girlfriend whose predictions often mean certain doom. Secondly, he must face personal demons from his own past that threaten his very sanity. Finally, he must survive a category-fi ve hurricane while trapped on a deserted island with a cannibalistic assassin who has a gruesome habit of making his victims part of his evening meals.
Emotion
In this well-known study William Lyons presents a sustained and coherent theory of the emotions, and one which draws extensively on the work of physchologists and physiologists in the area. Professor Lyons starts by giving a thorough scholarly and critical survey of other principal theories, before setting out his own casual-evaluative account. In addition to giving an analysis of the nature of emotion - in which Lyons argues evaluative attitudes play a crucial part - his theory throws light on the motivating role of emotions in our lives, our attitudes towards our emotions and our responsibility for them. By now Emotion is established as a modern classic in theory of the emotions and one of the reasons why cognitive theories of the emotions are now in the ascendancy.
