Summary

"The chapter explains the senses in which emotions are both active and passive and starts to outline an approach to emotions that treats them as motives and not as internally identifiable mental entities. It is claimed that emotional experience may be explained in terms of emotional motivation, but not vice-versa. The task is to provide an account of why it is right or wrong to describe a particular phenomenon as an emotion, an account that is rooted in an account of our nature as rationally sensitive creatures. The skeleton of the account is this: emotions are dispositional states that are manifested by forming and sustaining goals that the agent's behaviour is rationally sensitive to, and that are themselves rational responses to features of the agent's situation"-- Provided by publisher.
