Philosophical theories of emotions, and to an extent some theories
of scientific psychology, represent attempts to capture the essence
of emotions basically as they are conceived in common sense
psychology. Although there are problems, the success of
explanations of our behavior in terms of believes, desires and
emotions creates a presumption that, at some level of abstraction,
they reflect important elements in our psychological nature. It is
incumbent on a theory of emotions to provide an account of two
salient facts about emotions as conceived in common sense
psychology. As intentional states, emotions have representational
and rational properties: emotions represent states of affairs; and
they are rationally related to other mental representations, figure
in rational explanations of behavior, and are open to rational
assessment. Emotions also have a close relationship to a range of
non-intentional phenomena: in typical cases, emotions involve
physiological changes, usually associated with the activation of
the autonomic nervous system, which are proprioceptively
experienced; and they often involve behavioral tendencies, as well.
