Experiences like pains, pleasures, and emotions have affective phenomenal character: they feel pleasant or unpleasant. Imperativism proposes to explain affective phenomenal character by appeal to imperative content, a kind of intentional content that directs rather than describes. We argue that imperativism is on the right track, but has been developed in the wrong way. There are two varieties of imperativism on the market: first-order and higher-order. We show that neither is successful, and offer in their place a new theory: reflexive imperativism. Our proposal is that an experience P feels pleasant in virtue of being (at least partly) constituted by a Command with reflexive imperative content (1), while an experience U feels unpleasant in virtue of being (at least partly) constituted by a Command with reflexive imperative content (2): 1. More of P! 2. Less of U! If you need a slogan: experiences have affective phenomenal character in virtue of commanding us Get more of me! Get less of me!

更多的我！少了我！：关于情感现象性格的反身命令主义

痛苦、快乐和情绪等体验具有情感现象特征：它们感到愉快或不愉快。命令式提出通过诉诸命令式内容来解释情感现象特征，命令式内容是一种指导而不是描述的有意内容。我们认为，命令主义走在正确的轨道上，但却以错误的方式发展。市场上有两种强制主义：一阶和高阶。我们表明两者都不是成功的，并提供了一个新理论：反思性强制主义。我们的建议是，体验 P 感觉愉快，因为它（至少部分）由具有反身命令内容（1）的命令构成，而体验 U 感觉不愉快，因为它（至少部分）由具有自反命令内容的命令构成反身祈使内容（二）： 1. 更多的P！2. 少了你！如果你需要一个口号：经验具有情感的现象特征，因为它命令我们得到更多的我！少给我！
