How to think about co-experienced emotions
ILCLI Seminar
Emotions are usually theorized as stand alone phenomena. But many emotions co-occur. We often feel ambivalent about things, for example. Certain types of emotions tend to come together, such as empathic distress and sympathy or guilt and shame. In this paper, I examine such co-occurrences with a view to their consequence for how we think of emotions.
The research group on Language, Action, and Thought ---at the Institute of Logic, Cognition, Language and Information (ILCLI)--- mostly focuses on the Philosophy of Language and Mind as well as on the Philosophy of Action. Most of its members are philosophers (some, in particular, the external collaborator John Perry, with a renowned international career) but it also includes linguists (Yolanda García Lorenzo and Larraitz Zubeldia) and psychologists (Aida Fernández Cotarelo), as a clear sign of its interdisciplinary nature.
An important part of our research has evolved around Critical Pragmatics, a theory created and developed by some of us, with applications to the study of linguistic communication, and important assumptions and implications about thought and action.
During the last decade, we have received several grants from the University of the Basque Country (UPV-EHU), the Basque Government and the Government of Spain. Currently, we are finishing a work on the explicit and implicit elements of moral, aesthetic and political discourses. We are a consolidated group of the Basque University System of category A (90,5 points, IT1032-16).
