Emotions as natural and normative kinds
Philosophy of Science 71 (5):901-911 (2004)
| Abstract | In earlier work I have claimed that emotion and some emotions are not `natural kinds'. Here I clarify what I mean by `natural kind', suggest a new and more accurate term, and discuss the objection that emotion and emotions are not descriptive categories at all, but fundamentally normative categories. | |||||||||
