With the upcoming xmca discussion of Part 2 of the Special Issue
on the emotions, people might like to look at Luria's book on his
approach to the investigation of affect.

We just have the Preface and Introduction at the moment, but the
methodological discussion here is intriguing, especially his
insistence that it is only *psychological* investigation, based on
detailed observation of voluntary actions and consideration of the
entire system of the psychological and motor functions, and not
*physiological* investigation (as in modern "neuroscience:) which
can shed any light on problems of how human actvity can be
"disorganised" - and in 1932, this from the guy who is virtually
the founder of modern neuroscience.
