The article considers the relation and mutual influence of negative emotions
and culture. It provides arguments for the distinction between negative and
positive emotions. The main claim is that what distinguishes negative
emotions is that their intentionality is directed towards the subject
themselves, by which the subject becomes the emotion’s hostage. Although
intuitively wrongheaded, the article claims that negative emotions can have
a positive impact in social life and serve the advancement of human values
and struggles against injustice. Valuing negative emotions refers to
correspondence with relevant social norms, that is to say, how can we judge
social events in the framework of ethical, moral, or social values. |
