We’ve been talking about emotions a great deal, but it’s all been about using emotion to write powerful stories. We haven’t said much about how emotion works. Let’s remedy that.
I have for you here a classic work on emotion, by Aristotle. It’s part of a larger work, which you may have heard of, called The Rhetoric.
Aristotle was a greatly practical-minded guy, and human nature hasn’t changed all that much in the past 2,300 years. Definitely worth a read.
Here’s Aristotle on Emotional Logic.
ps – Also, you’ll notice I’ve conveniently added an item, “resources,” to the sidebar, where you’ll find this and any other ebooks I may add.
