«Biología de las pasiones» is the essay by Jean-Didier Vincent, published by Editorial Anagrama in hardcover (336 pages, in Spanish).
Jean-Didier Vincent argues that passions, far from belonging only to literature or morality, can be explained from biology. The work proposes understanding the human being as an organism governed by hormones and internal secretions, in which neuroendocrinology helps to comprehend emotions such as love, pleasure, and pain.
The work belongs to the Argumentos collection of Editorial Anagrama, number 88, and includes a translation by Joaquín Jordá.
It is aimed at any reader interested in the biological basis of emotions and in the scientific understanding of passions.
Jean-Didier Vincent was a French neurobiologist and neuropsychiatrist.

From 1991 to 2004 Vincent was Director of the Alfred-Fessard Institute of Neurobiology at the CNRS.
