- This article deals with the concept of Passions, as they have been used in philosophical debates. In general, the passions refer to innate or biologically driven emotion states, such as anger, greed, lust or the other deadly sins, and lead to social or spiritual ills: Punishment from God in Abrahamic faiths, the brutal state of nature presented by Hobbes, the recurrence of karma in dharmic faith. The passions are often used as foils to advocate the pursuit of virtue, the use of reason, dedication to the principles of a faith or other idealistic principles. Different philosophies approach the passions in a number of ways, from the full indulgence of hedonism and nihilism to the forms of moderation found in philosophies like Epicureanism and many conventional religions to the strict abnegation or rejection espoused by Stoicism, Cynicism, and many types of religious monasticism.
