I was recently invited on the “Philosophy for Flourishing” podcast to talk about my view of the sentiments (including emotions) and how understanding these can contribute to our flourishing. This was largely about Chapter 2 of my book Eros and Ethos: A New Theory of Sexual Ethics, where I elaborate my theory of sentiments and show how powerful this understanding can be for living a good life. Later in the book, I show how we can use this framework to even understand such things as sexual attraction and sexual arousal.
