Moral anthropology has recently highlighted a variety of sine quibus non (virtue, freedom, evil, and so on) that are conceptually needed if anthropologists are to better understand morality. I add to this list the concept of “telos” and offer an account for how it features in the emotional lives of ethical subjects. Applying recent work in moral anthropology on ultimate values to a discussion of moods, I argue that moods disclose attunements to telic values, and do so in three key ways, namely, as attunements of absence, proximity, and fulfillment, what collectively I call “telic attunements.” I illustrate this through my own ethnographic research on the kinds of moods that turned up for a community of Shambhala Buddhist meditators, showing how meditation was used to move away from absence and toward fulfillment.

泰勒语调解：情绪和终极价值（美国的静修者中）

道德人类学最近强调了多种非正弦quiqui（美德，自由，邪恶等等）在概念上是人类学家要更好地理解道德的必要条件。我将“ telos”的概念添加到该列表中，并说明了它在道德主体的情感生活中的特征。我将道德人类学中有关终极价值的最新研究成果应用于情绪的讨论中，我认为情绪揭示了对直觉价值的调和，并以三种关键方式做到这一点，即缺席，接近和满足的调和，我统称为“格子调。” 我通过自己的人种学研究来说明这一点，该研究针对的是香巴拉佛教徒禅修者群体，他表现出了怎样的情绪，表明禅修是如何被用来摆脱缺席而走向满足的。
