The Emotional Turn

The "Emotional Turn" refers to a shift in various fields like literature, philosophy, and social sciences, where emphasis moves from purely rational or logical analysis to understanding and exploring human emotions, feelings, and subjective experiences. This approach recognizes that emotions play a crucial role in shaping our perceptions, decisions, and identities. It encourages incorporating emotional insights to gain a deeper, more nuanced understanding of human behavior and social phenomena, emphasizing that feelings are integral to understanding the human condition and cultural expressions.
