Review of:

Steinbock Anthony, Moral emotions: Reclaiming the evidence of the heart, Northwestern University Press, Evanston, Ill., 2014.

This remarkable book draws the reader into philosophizing. In showing us old (familiar) things about philosophical and human matters in new and important ways, it offers, as I see it, a new theistically-oriented and phenomenologically explicated existentialism.1 Though not a book for the philosophically or spiritually faint of heart (well, maybe the latter should have a look) perhaps singular among the many achievements of Moral Emotions is Steinbock’s ability to do philosophy in a way that does justice to both spheres of philosophical interest, the scholarly and the human.
