del amor y las pasiones.

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?
Find out at this special symposium exploring the concept of emotion, with leading views from the worlds of science, history, art and philosophy.The heart, widely understood as the place where life begins and ends, has always featured as a potent symbol in our religions, myths and rituals.
