| summary | One of the central questions in philosophy of mind concerns the intentionality of moods. While it is standard to take the intentional object of moods as either “everything” or “nothing”, neither view seems to be explanatorily inadequate. Given this, this talk develops and motivates a positive account of the intentionality of moods, according to which moods are directed at atmospheres (the atmosphere view of mood). I first analyze the elusiveness of mood experiences in terms of three aspects, intentional, phenomenological and normative, and also specify some core characteristics of atmospheres. I then motivate the atmosphere view of moods by arguing that the elusiveness of mood experiences can be well-explained in terms of the atmospheres at which they are directed. I conclude by presenting an implication of the atmosphere view of mood, namely that intervening on atmospheres is the most appropriate way to improve our hedonistic wellbeing. |
