Anxiety Zone - Emotion Emotion is the realm where thought and physiology are inextricably entwined, and where the 'self' is inseparable from our individual perceptions of value and judgement toward ourselves and others. This understanding of emotions may be considered the epiphenomenal account; emotions may be the end-product of cognitive processes—such as a feeling of anger upon realizing that one's been cheated—but they can never take their place among other mental states, such as believing, as equals. Nussbaum's primary goal in her recent work on emotion is to support this cognitive account of emotions against the epiphenomenal account by showing how emotions both have a logic—can be considered to follow coherently or not upon one another—and are directly responsive to external facts. www.anxietyzone.com /glossary/emotion.html   (2874 words)

Emotion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Emotion, in its most general definition, is an intense neural impulse-produced mental state that arises subjectively rather than through conscious effort and evokes either a positive or negative psychological response to move an organism to action. Emotion is sometimes regarded as the antithesis of reason. Emotions are mammalian elaborations of vertebrate arousal patterns, in which neurochemicals (e.g., dopamine, noradrenaline, and serotonin) step-up or step-down the brain's activity level, as visible in body movements, gestures, and postures. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Emotion   (2097 words)

Emotion, Movement and Psychological Space   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02) The logos of emotion begins in the pre-articulated experience of 'being moved' in some manner, yet, the already understood, implicit, lived ways of being-in-the-world as emotional are also shaped by the articulation of meaning through language.. From the second connotation, emotion is distinguished as a departure from the "norm," the calm that exists prior to the emergence of a potential movement. Emotion, as a human phenomenon -- thus, as an existential -- must invariably be understood in terms of all of the existentials which, equiprimordially, compose the fabric of human existence. mythosandlogos.com /emotion.html   (4841 words)

The Emotions Since emotions are not acts of will, they are not freely chosen, but occur spontaneously, which is why a "crime of passion" is less severe than a crime of calculation, as less under control of the will -- and it is, of course, acts of will that are morally praiseworthy or blameworthy. The cognitive and situational component of emotion means that emotions are as varied as the circumstances of life, which means that the range and variety of emotions is great and complex -- as can be seen in the accompanying tables at left and right. Self-deception in emotion requires the suppression of the emotion, which may be difficult and result in various unpleasant and unexpected symptoms. www.friesian.com /emotion.htm   (2189 words)

Dana Gioia Online - Connect the Prose and the Passion Passion is the overpowering, inescapable fate of all artists, who must learn at great costs and pain not to control it — for control is impossible — but to ride it so that it will not destroy them. Passion is, as James understood so well, an involuntary form of self-knowledge, a painful sense of how one differs not only from others but often from one's own self-image.
