Abstract

This chapter provides an introductory survey of phenomenological theories of the emotions from 1874 until 1950. In accordance with the different phases of the developments of phenomenological movement until the middle of the last century, this chapter will distinguish between four main approaches to the emotions: 1) The origins of the movement, starting with Brentano’s descriptive psychology, which subsequently influenced Husserl’s foundation of phenomenology as an analysis of the intentional structure of consciousness and its objects; 2) The realist phenomenology, mainly in the work of Scheler and Pfänder, whose interest was the description of the essence or a priori traits of the emotions and the contents of emotional consciousness; 3) Heidegger’s opposition to understand the emotions as internal mental states and his focus on their existential significance; 4) Sartre and Merleau-Ponty’s understanding of the emotions as an embodied form of engagement with the world
