Abstract:

True Emotions discusses several key problems in emotion research. The question
about the true nature of emotions focuses on the role of cognition in human
emotions at different levels of analysis: functional role, types of processes
and representations, and neural implementation. Truth to the self, or
authenticity, has two meanings, psychological and normative, where the latter
is analyzed as coherence between the evaluative content of an emotion and the
subject’s internally justified beliefs and values. Truth to the world is
argued to be a matter of correct evaluative representation of the emotional
object on the one hand, and the existence of the object, or the actuality or
accurate probability of the represented situation on the other hand. Finally,
authenticity and truth are applied to analyses of the authenticity of
occupational emotions and the constitution of sentimental values,
respectively. Recommended reading for philosophers, psychologists,
sociologists, and gender researchers.
