INTENTIONALITY AND RATIONALITY:
EMOTIONS AS EMBODIED APPRAISALS
Keywords:
physiological theories of emotion, embodied appraisals, rationality, intentionality, EmotionsAbstract
According to the evaluative theories, emotions involve intentionality ―judgments and evaluations― and, therefore, rationality. Physiological theories, on the other hand, ar-gue that emotions must be defined in terms of patterns of physiological changes and their perception. These theories must resolve two problems: (1) how can be intentional or representational mere physiological changes. And (2) how can be made an assess-ment of rationality out of physiological changes. The approach of the embodied ap-praisals (Prinz, 2003a, 2003b, 2004) provides answers to such problems from a physio-logical perspective. The details and implications of this approach are exposed and dis-cussed in this paper.
