Kommentar: | We are emotional animals. We regularly feel sad, angry, guilty, happy, frustrated, etc. in response to various events in the world. But what are emotions, and why do we have them? Do emotions tell us anything important about our environment, and if so what is it? Are emotions the sort of thing that can be rational, justified, good? Or are emotions mental states we should avoid or minimize, especially given their tendency to unduly influence our thinking and behavior? What is the difference between emotions and other kinds of affective states (such as sentiments and moods)? Contemporary theories of emotion attempt to answer these questions and many others by proposing a comprehensive story of how the many different aspects of emotions should be understood and related to each other. In this course, we will critically look at the main theories of emotion, both in philosophy and in the sciences of the mind. Along the way, we will tackle important questions in related philosophical domains such as epistemology, metaphysics, moral psychology, and metaethics.
This course will be a seminar taught in English, and will consist mainly in discussion on assigned readings. Active engagement with the texts and participation in class are essential. Texts will be circulated electronically. |
