Abstract
This chapter first explains some terminology and distinctions that it will be helpful to employ throughout the book. In particular, it explains what is meant by ‘intentional states apprehending objects of emotion’ by unpacking the notions of ‘an intentional state’ (and its ‘content’, ‘attitude’, and ‘object’) and ‘objects of emotion’ (formal/evaluative and particular objects), and specifying what is intended by referring to the former as ‘apprehending’ the latter. This conceptual framework is a helpful tool to employ in examining Aristotle’s views, but the chapter also provides, in a preliminary way, some reasons for thinking that it may not be anachronistic to use it. Finally, the general idea that it is legitimate to attempt (as Aristotle does) to analyse emotions in terms of other intentional states is defended against a recent objection to this approach in current discussions. The chapter argues that such analyses are still very much on the table.
