In this lively interview series from the RSA, Matthew Taylor, puts a range of practitioners on the spot - from scholars to business leaders, politicians to journalists - by asking for big ideas to help build effective bridges to our new future.
Our emotions drive much of our behaviour. But do we have the same emotions as people who lived three hundred years ago or who live three hundred miles away? And how exactly do we define what an emotion is? To find out, Matthew is joined by Richard Firth-Godbehere, author of 'A Human History of Emotion'.
Richard Firth-Godbehere is Honorary Research Fellow at the Centre for the History of the Emotions at Queen Mary University of London. His latest book is 'A Human History of Emotion: How the Way We Feel Built the World We Know'.
