The Reactive Theory of Emotions
| Résumé |
Evaluative theories of emotions purport to shed light on the nature
of emotions by appealing to values. Three kinds of evaluative
theories of emotions dominate the recent literature: the judgment
theory equates emotions with value judgments; the perceptual theory
equates emotions with perceptions of values, and the attitudinal
theory equates emotions with evaluative attitudes. This paper
defends a fourth kind of evaluative theory of emotions, mostly
neglected so far: the reactive theory. Reactive theories claim that
emotions are attitudes which arise in reaction to perceptions of
value. |
