Emotional Disagreement: The Role of Semantic Content in the Expression of, and Disagreement Over, Emotional Values
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 September 2012
Abstract
ABSTRACT: When we describe an event as sad or happy, we attribute to it a certain emotional value. Attributions of emotional value depend essentially on an agent (and on his or her emotional responses); and yet, people readily disagree over such values. My aim in this paper is to explain what happens in the case of “emotional disagreement”, and, more generally, to provide some insight into the semantics of value-attributions.
