Over the last decades, theoretical perspectives in the interdisciplinary field of the affective
sciences have proliferated rather than converged due to differing assumptions about what …

The algorithm, a building block of computer science, is defined from an intuitive and
pragmatic point of view, through a methodological lens of philosophy rather than that of …
