Jean Moritz Müller
The World-Directedness of Emotional Feeling “In this carefully researched book, Müller offers detailed and sustained criticisms of standard accounts of emotional experience or feeling as a kind of ‘axiological receptivity’—a form of taking in how the world is evaluatively. Müller argues that such accounts fail properly to make sense of the intentionality and the phenomenology of emotions. In its place, he proposes an original ‘position-taking’ account of emotional experience that understands it to be the taking of a positive or negative stand towards significant objects, and he argues that this better accounts for the intentionality and phenomenology of emotions, as well as the sense in which emotions are deeply personal. The sustained criticisms Müller offers of standard accounts of emotional feeling should be taken seriously, and Müller’s positive account is rich and interesting on its own: an important and distinctive contender, with wide-ranging implications for philosophy of mind quite broadly. The World-Directedness of Emotional Feeling amply repays the time invested in reading it.” —Bennett Helm, Franklin & Marshall College, Pennsylvania, USA “Concerning the widely discussed idea of the specific intentionality of emotions, Müller provides an original and convincing account. Partly following the work of Peter Goldie, who famously introduced the term of ‘feeling towards’, Müller argues in the tradition of analytical philosophy, at the same time drawing on the tradition of early phenomenologists of the beginning of the 20th century. Rigorous, clear and accurate, this is a very fruitful endeavour.” —Eva Weber-Guskar, Guest Professor of Philosophy, Humboldt University of Berlin, Germany
