Much of what we take to be meaningful and significant in life is
inextricably linked with our capacity to experience emotions. Here,
Jonathan Mitchell considers emotional experiences as sui generis
states; not to be modelled after other mental states such as
perceptions, judgements, or bodily feelings, but given their own
analysis and place within our mental economy. More specifically, he
proposes an original view of emotional experiences as
feelings-towards-values. Central to this view is the notion that
emotional experiences include (non-bodily) felt attitudes which
represent evaluative properties of the particular objects of those
experiences. After setting out a framework for theorising about
experiences and their contents, Mitchell argues that the content of
emotional experience is evaluative. He then explains the best way
to marry this claim with the presence of specific kinds of valenced
attitudinal components in emotional experience and critical aspects
of emotional phenomenology. Building on this, he introduces a
distinctive role for bodily feelings, by way of a somatic
enrichment of the felt valenced attitudes involved in emotional
experience. Finally, he considers issues pertaining to the
intelligibility of emotions, and shows how the
feelings-towards-values view can account for the way in which
emotional experiences often make sense in a first-person way.
