Folk and philosophers alike argue whether particular emotions are rational. However, these debates presuppose that emotions are eligible for rationality. Drawing on examples of how we manage our own emotions through strategies such as taking medication, I argue that the general permissibility of such management demonstrates that emotions are ineligible for rationality. It follows that emotions are never irrational or rational. Because neither perception nor emotion is eligible for rationality, this reveals a significant epistemic continuity between them, lending support to perceptual views of emotion.

没有非理性的情绪

民间和哲学家都在争论特定的情绪是否是理性的。然而，这些争论的前提是情绪符合理性的条件。举例说明我们如何通过服药等策略管理自己的情绪，我认为这种管理的普遍允许性表明情绪不符合理性的要求。由此可见，情绪从来都不是非理性的或理性的。因为感知和情感都不符合理性，这揭示了它们之间的重要认知连续性，为情感的感知观点提供了支持。
