The Oxford Handbook of the Philosophy of Consciousness July 9, 2020 Julien Deonna, Fabrice Teroni 14 citations
Emotions have distinctive felt qualities that may explain key features such as valence (positive or negative), how emotions are individuated from one another, their intentional objects, and their motivational force. Using the example of anger at a nasty remark, the chapter argues that attending to emotional phenomenology supports specific accounts of these four features, suggesting that how an emotion feels is integral to understanding its nature and role.
