Why a new paradigm? -- Biological aboutness: reassessing teleology -- Social intelligence from the ground up -- Emotional flexibility and the evolution of bio-culture -- The ontogeny of social intelligence -- Representation and imagination -- Language and concepts -- Affect in cultural evolution: the social structure of civilization -- Religion, mythology, and art.. - The Emotional Mind argues for the centrality of emotions in the evolution of the human mind (and our primate cousins). The authors triangulate insights and data from philosophy, biology, and psychology to shape a new research program. While impressive research has been emerging in disparate fields like neuroethology, ecological psychology, evolution of culture, enactive psychology, and philosophy of biology, no one has yet characterized an affective paradigm that draws together these data and projects a fruitful way forward. The Emotional Mind attempts to provide such a conceptual roadmap.--
