Esquisse d'une theorie des émotions, Sartre proposes a phenomenological description of this psychological phenomenon. He distinguishes between constituted affectivity, which gives rise to emotions, and an original affectivity lacking intentionality, and tied closely to bodily processes. It appears that emotion is first and foremost a magical attitude toward the world, an attitude freely adopted by the subject. Against what is often written, this thesis doesn't mean that emotion would be a pure comedy but only that, in spite of appearances, this behaviour isn't a matter of what Descartes calls soul's passions." /> What is it to move oneself emotionally? - Cabestan Philippe | sdvig press
