As a consequence, prison officers in the Republic of Ireland now undertake a two-year higher certificate programme in custodial care (HCCC). The programme is a mixture of vocational training and academic theory, and seeks to foster and develop an increasingly professional prison officer. This paper outlines the structure and content of the HCCC programme. It will explore the experiences of two tutors who work for the Institute of Technology, Sligo and who are involved in teaching on the HCCC. One tutor teaches on the Equality and Diversity module and the other delivers the Custodial Care Policy and Practice class. Both modules are delivered in year two of the programme. The paper describes the 'blended-...

I set out by critically examining the influential hybrid cognitive theory (in particular William Lyons's causal-evaluative theory), describing its merits but also elucidating a number of fundamental defects that exist in this account. I defend Martin Heidegger's description of emotion/mood in <i>Being and Time</i> as pre-cognitive and pre-moral from those who attempt to attribute a cognitive dimension to it. <br><br>This thesis highlights the significance of connections or bonds in our affective lives at the ontic as well as ontological levels, by examining three specific emotions; grief, guilt and objectless fear. One of its principal achievements is the demonstration that there is much to be gained from both the analytic and Continental traditions of philosophy to emotion/mood analysis and, in particular, to how our understan...

I will use my critique of Lyons’s causal-evaluative theory to act as a point of transition or pathway towards Heidegger’s description of Angst as it is detailed in Being and Time. I argue that objectless fear cannot simply be dismissed as a mislabelled mood, as claimed by Martha Nussbaum or, as Lyons suggests, that its object is merely vague or imponderable. Rather, it is my contention that genuine objectless fear (or Angst) is best understood as an ontologically important means of revealing our authentic and inauthentic possibilities.
