9309	Emotions have intentional objects, while a mood is objectless [Svendsen]
	Full Idea: An emotion normally has an intentional object, while a mood is objectless.
	From: Lars Svendsen (A Philosophy of Boredom [2005], Ch.3)
	A reaction: It doesn't follow that the object of the emotion is clearly understood, or even that it is conscious. One may experience rising anger while struggling to see what its object is. Artistic symbolism seems to involve objects that create moods.
