Friday 7 September 2007, 19.00-21.00

Saturday 8 September 2007, 10.00-16.30

From Victorian poetry to neuroscience, this unique symposium explored the concept of emotion.

What are emotions? Can you die of a broken heart? Do we control our emotions, or do they control us? Why do we feel love and hate, anger and joy? This special symposium brought together leading views from the worlds of science, history, art and philosophy.
