ABSTRACT

This article develops a new way of understanding the integration of emotions in practical life and the practical appraisal of emotions, drawing on insights from both J-P. Sartre and R. G. Collingwood. I develop a concept of “practical metabolism” and show that emotions need to be understood not only as transformations from determinate to indeterminate practical intuitions, but also as transformations in the reverse direction. Firstly, I provide a new conception of the dynamic phenomenal structure of the emotions that can resolve significant tensions in the Sartre’s theory. Secondly, I develop that theory to shed light on the diverse socially mediated roles of emotions in practical life by drawing on Collingwood’s philosophy of magic. Thirdly, I deploy the notion of practical metabolism to address the appraisal of emotions, setting out a framework for understanding the various ways in which emotional expression is subject to structural breakdown.

摘要

本文借鉴了 JP. 萨特和 RG 科林伍德。我提出了“实际新陈代谢”的概念，并表明情绪不仅需要被理解为从确定到不确定的实际直觉的转变，而且还需要被理解为反向的转变。首先，我提供了一个关于情绪的动态现象结构的新概念，它可以解决萨特理论中的重大张力。其次，我利用科林伍德的魔法哲学发展了这一理论，以阐明情感在实际生活中的多种社会中介作用。第三，我运用实际新陈代谢的概念来解决情绪的评估，
