I really don't understand your objection. Like, what is your actual point? That we don't always experience emotion? Thay emotion is somehow unreal? No...
I'm not entirely clear about how volition fits into the picture here, if at all. I think Barrett does have alot to say about it in her book, but I hav...
Ahhh of course! I'm kicking myself for not having thought of that! Felicitous and infelicitous emotions - of course. This way of thinking allows one t...
It's an interesting question - I imagine that there must indeed be certain neurological features, which, when underdeveloped or malformed, inhibit the...
I would suggest that there is persistent disagreement in philosophy because agreement is not a goal, even an incidental one, of philosophy. Agreement ...
Skim read closer! "Like beliefs and memories, however, emotions are not things. They are states. ...The experience of emotion is not the result of an ...

I've been trying to think about this and I think you're entirely right to think about this in terms of modality. I hope this is not a case of me just ...
Of the three papers I've read, there's only one reference to Wittgenstein in connection with her use of the term 'family resemblance'. That said, this...
Yeah that's the one. I can link you a copy if you'd like. That particular one is more brain-sciencey though. The more conceptual paper is her "Solving...
Ah, but the question is how we treat the distinction; over the kind of power and rhetorical relations we set up in a society where people are differen...
I suppose, but only because it's used that way right now. I guess - to be less facetious - I don't want math to be anything all that special. It's a l...
Go big or go home Banno - nothing refers to anything, not even words! - unless used in that way, of course. It's as they say about guns: words and num...
The rich are not getting their promised ROI. Gotta sacrifice a few (tens or hundreds of thousands of blue collar workers, predominantly african-americ...
One thing that seems quite striking to me is exactly this parallel with phenomenology; just as Husserl gave an account of perception in terms of the '...
Yeah it does - anger is a kind of nominal melting pot: we put various ingredients in, and you get a family resemblance of results (called 'anger'), bu...
I might prefer to say something like: there are many states called anger, each of them variantly evoked and produced across a range of different situa...
The Trump campaign has a bunch of boomers who have just discovered memes placing white text on American flags and skulls while they herp-derp amongst ...
This is really good, the bolded part in particular. I tried to skim over the essay but Dewey doesn't write in a way amenable to skimming for me. Gonna...
I suppose that what interests me isn't really the affect/emotion distinction, which sure, is objectively interesting or whatever, but that's just mech...
I haven't yet read the book - it's been sitting on my shelf for the last however many months and I only have the discipline to read one book at a time...
A note on this - this is, in a way, exactly what follows from the kind of account given here (hence my quick reference to William James in the OP: emo...
Yeah, it's important not to conflate this with a kind of 'voluntarist' account of emotion where I can simply feel whatever I want whenever I want. In ...
Insofar as they are new they can only have been learnt. That's what learning is. But let me try and answer more substantively. I can't address your wh...
I edited out my reference to Wittgenstein's 'family resemblance' to fit in a bit more about emotions as skills, but I'm glad you caught it because I d...
She doesn't talk a great deal about developmental aspects in the papers I've read so far (perhaps she does more in the book - @"possibility"?), but sh...
Will reply more substantially in a bit (dinner time), but a quick copy and paste: "In a sense, a situated conceptualization, because it is designed fo...
From a commentator I follow on social media: "If you look at Joe Biden's central role in expanding the prison industrial complex, shepherding universi...
On the account given here, this is exactly the wrong way to look at things. Or at least, it is only half the story. As a matter of conceptual evaluati...
I was going to mention exactly this. Just as Freudian lingo is part and parcel of everyday vocabulary (unconscious, libido, ego, id, on the couch, etc...
I guess when your country is founded by a paedophile slaver rapist like Jefferson that's why it turns out the way it does: with a 2020 election choice...
And in case anyone had any doubt about the small-minded anemia of the Obama administration: "To his most hopeful followers, Obama’s unique gift was be...
