| Research Abstract |
Atraditional philosophy has opposed feeling, emotion in particular, to reason. Affective phenomena represent disorder or meaninglessness while reason realizes truth and consistency. But some contemporary philosophers apprehend affectivity in another way. According to Scheler, we perceive the value of things in affectivity. The recognition of value consists in our faculty of feeling. Moreover, Heidegger's concept of "Befindlichkeit" means the fact that our affective state reveals our manner of being in -the world. It is Henry that spells out the ontological structure of this revealing by using his ontology of immanence : affectivity manifests our fundamental relation toward the world as living force ; life presents itself in affectivity : appearing in form of emotion is the original mode of life's existence.
Another dichotomy of action-passion is adopted very often to describe emotion in its classical analysis. Emotion is a passion because it is not voluntary. However, as Descartes pointed out, an action of will must be perceived in order to be intended, and the only manner in which any perception could function is that of passion. The above-mentioned Henry's concept of immanence can depict how voluntary action, effort, is experienced as a feeling or emotion.
Finally there is a great possibility that a good theory of emotion could contribute to resolve the difficult problem concerning the existence of the other person. Phenomenology, starting from the perception of the body, did not succeed in the explanation of the experience we have on the other ego. If affectivity has a different modality of experience from intelligence such as reason, or as representation, and if it thus approaches directly to life, one can conceive a community of life in which we each participate as its member.
