18. Thought / A. Modes of Thought / 3. Emotions / a. Nature of emotions

22235	Feelings are not unchanging, but have a history (especially if they are noble) [Foucault]
	Full Idea: We believe that feelings are immutable, but every sentiment, particularly the most noble and disinterested, has a history.
	From: Michel Foucault (Nietzsche, Genealogy, History [1971], p.86), quoted by Johanna Oksala - How to Read Foucault 5
	A reaction: This is the sort of remark that makes me think Foucault is worth reading. Aristotle thought you could teach correct feelings. That implies that you can also teach incorrect feelings.
