| summary | While the majority of contemporary authors working on introspection seem to assume that we can introspect actual emotions without modifying their qualitative feel, few others claim that introspection of one’s own emotions modifies their phenomenal character. The aim of my talk is to explore this issue. To this end, drawing on classical phenomenology, I will first elaborate a taxonomy of forms of introspection to actual emotion. I will show that while some of these forms modify the qualitative feel of actual emotion, others do not entail a modification of their phenomenal character. Next, in order to study the latter forms of introspection of actual emotion, I will turn to contemporary aesthetics. In particular, I will examine introspection of actual emotions during our engagement with fictional characters, the appreciation of the aesthetic properties of an art object and aesthetic sentimentalism. As I shall argue while the introspection of actual emotions with analytical purposes entails a modification of their qualitative feel, during certain forms of aesthetic experience, we might introspect actual emotions without modifying their qualitative feel. |
