feeling and emotion: affective value and affected intent gary e. davis |
June 2020 |

There’s good reason to distinguish feeling and emotion as valuational and expressive modes of affect, because affect may be inner-directed or outer-directed. Receptiveness of affect is different than affected response.
(The lexicality of ‘feeling’ is a very nebulous folkism.)
The point here is that affect is part of oneSelf, which should be understood as potentially S/s differentiated in experiences that are inner-directed and outer-directed—which reminds me of philosopher John Searle’s “direction of fit” irt world-to-word vs. word-to-world experiences; and which might remind anyone of the common difference between introversional and extraversional dispositions. next—> receptive / responsive liminality |
