Abstract
Christine Tappolet’s book Philosophy of Emotion: A Contemporary Introduction, like many other works in emotion theory, focuses primarily on emotional episodes at the expense of so-called “emotional dispositions.” I argue that there is no reason for theories of emotion to focus on emotional episodes or to reserve the term “emotion” for them.
Résumé
L’ouvrage de Christine Tappolet, Philosophy of Emotion: A Contemporary Introduction, comme de nombreux autres ouvrages sur la théorie des émotions, se concentre principalement sur les épisodes émotionnels au détriment de ce que l’on appelle les « dispositions émotionnelles ». Je soutiens qu’il n’y a aucune raison pour que les théories de l’émotion se concentrent sur les épisodes émotionnels ou réservent le terme « émotion » à ceux-ci.
