Professor Anthony Steinbock

Distinctive Structure of the Moral Emotions—On Trust

Monday 8 October, 4 p.m.
Faculty Conference Room, 310 Morven Brown building

This paper inquires into the emotional sphere of experience, and asks whether emotional acts have their own structure of evidence and are revelatory of the person, or are instead dependent upon a rational structure of experience in order to have meaning.  To do this, I describe what is at stake in the moral emotions having a distinctive structure.  I limit myself to one example of an emotional experience—trust —examining it with attention to three features, namely, otherness, temporality, and the modality of possibility.  In this way, I can suggest the extent to which acts of the emotional sphere have a unique structure such that they are not merely modifications of perceptual belief or rational acts of knowing.
