| 4375 | Evaluations are not disguised emotions; instead, emotion is a type of evaluation |
| Full Idea: The emotivist gets things backwards: evaluations are not disguised emotions; instead, emotions are types of evaluation. | |||
| From: Deborah Achtenberg (Cognition of Value in Aristotle's Ethics [2002], 6.1) | |||
| A reaction: A nice comment, though a bit optimistic. It is certainly a valuable corrective to emotivist to pin down the cognitive and evaluative aspects of emotion, rather than regarding them as 'raw' feelings. |
