Types of Emotional Interiority: Affective Reason
Abstract
In this essay, the affective interiority of de person is studied and a classification of affective experiences is proposed, based on the phenomenological theories of E. Husserl, M. Scheler and D. v. Hildebrand. In this classification, affective perception (Fühlen, Wertnehmen) is distinguished from affective responses (correct and incorrect) and mere emotions. Affective perceiving has a primary or “starting” intentionality, affective responses have only a secondary or response intentionality, and mere emotions are non-intentional experiences. In addition, love is described as a supra-intentional affectivity, which allows the deployment of affective intentionality. These phenomenological distinctions apply in decisive practical fields, such as ethics, education, psychology or psychiatry.
