Abstract
I sketch evidence for a normative view of fittingness that poses a challenge to the nonnormative view of fittingness that Christine Tappolet defends in Philosophy of Emotion (2023). This challenge is important given that fittingness is crucial to her view of evaluative features and thus to her view of emotions as representations of evaluative features.
Résumé
J’esquisse les preuves d’une vision normative de l’adéquation (fittingness) qui remet en question la vision non normative de l’adéquation défendue par Christine Tappolet dans Philosophy of Emotion (2023). Ce défi est important car l’adéquation est cruciale pour sa conception des caractéristiques évaluatives et donc pour sa vision des émotions comme représentations de ces caractéristiques.
