On Emotional Presentation (Studies in Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy)

By Alexius Meinong

Book Overview

On Emotional Presentation, first published in German in 1917, contains the Austrian philosopher Alexius Meinong's clearest and most developed account of the emotions and their relation to values. In this work, written toward the end of his life, Meinong argues that values are given in and through emotions but are also ontologically independent of these emotions or any subjective attitude.

Available again in English, with a new foreword by John J. Drummond that situates Meinong's account within contemporary discussions of the emotions, this translation will be welcome to those interested in Meinong and his theory of objects as well as those interested in the philosophy of the emotions and values.
