The Archaeology of the Mind
Book • 2023
In this book, Jaak Panksepp and Lucy Biven delve into the neurobiological basis of emotions, proposing that emotions have a long evolutionary history and are present throughout the animal kingdom.
They identify seven primary emotional systems: RAGE, FEAR, SEEKING, LUST, CARE, PANIC/GRIEF, and PLAY.
These systems are described as sub-cortical and mostly sub-cerebral circuits arising from the brainstem and mid-brain regions.
The authors argue that these primal drives are feeling states that include lower-level consciousness and are essential for understanding human and animal emotions.
The book also discusses the role of these emotional systems in shaping behavior, emotional learning, and the complexities of human emotions.
