Aquinas on passions and contemporary view of emotion

These are divided into two parts according to Aquinas. The first part contains concupiscible passions which rise in a direct response to a stimulus leading to achieving success. The second part called irascible has its aim in surmounting problems and difficulties. Secondly, the thesis describes theories of emotions and sorts them according to psychological attitudes. Finally, the theories of emotions are compared to the concept of emotions by Aquinas in the final part and consequently the congruence is being sought.
