This book examines the human ability to participate in moments of
joint feeling. It presents an answer to the question concerning the
nature of our faculty to share in what might be called episodes of
collective affective intentionality. The proposal develops the
claim that our capacity to participate in such episodes is grounded
in an ability central to our human condition: our capacity to care
with one another about certain things. The author provides a
phenomenologically adequate account of collective affective
intentionality that takes seriously the idea that feelings are at
the core of our emotional relation to the world. He details a form
of group emotional orientation that relies on the fact that the
participating individuals have come to share a number of concerns.
Readers will learn that at the heart of a collective affective
intentional episode, one does not merely find a set of shared
concerns, but also a particular mode of caring. In the end, the
argument presented in this monograph makes plausible the idea that
the emotions through which humans participate in moments of
affective intentional community express our nature. In addition, it
shows that the debate on collective affective intentionality also
permits us to better understand the relationship between two
conflicting philosophical pictures of ourselves: the idea that we
are essentially social beings and the claim that we are creatures
for whom our personal existence is an issue. Thus, aiming at an
elucidation of the nature of our ability to feel together, the book
offers a detailed account of what it is to situationally express
our human nature by caring about something in a properly joint
manner.
