The Emotional Life of Reason: Exploring Conceptions of Objectivity

Year: 2016
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: This paper extends Pinto's (2011) "Emotions and Reasons" (in which he argued that emotions provide reasons for action in so far as the beliefs and desires which make up reasons are constitutive elements of emotions) by exploring relationships between emotions-as-reasons and in (re)conceptualizing objectivity as naturalized to address the evaluative dimension.The paper addresses the emotional character of reason with respect to subjective and normative validity by shifting analysis to socially situated practices.
