| Emotions: A. philosophy of mind is usually defined by examples such as joy, fear, anger in order to distinguish it from other internal states. It is controversial whether emotions are triggered solely by external circumstances. See also sensations, perception, mental states, mind states, consciousness, stimuli, introspection, other minds.
B. In psychology, emotion is a complex, subjective experience characterized by physiological arousal, expressive behaviors, and a cognitive appraisal. Emotions influence mood, motivate behavior, and play a crucial role in social interactions._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Ludwig Wittgenstein on Emotions - Dictionary of Arguments
Hintikka I 355 "The emotional language games are based on games of expressions of which we cannot say they are lying." >Language games. Hintikka: the simple fact that there are language games with correctable moves makes the distinction primary/secondary necessary. I 356 A child could learn a secondary language game by misleading adults about your feelings. This is in contrast to the introduction (the teaching) of a primary language game with pain expressions. I 359 When one says: "Evidence can only make the authenticity of the emotional expression probable", this does not mean: instead of certainty, only probability, but only the type of reasoning is different; it is related to the character of the language game. >Evidence, >Certainty. I 370 Propositional Attitudes/Wittgenstein/Hintikka: the view criticized by Wittgenstein states that each propositional attitude is characterized by a special feeling or other special private experience. And that it is precisely these experiences that we mean by our statements about belief etc...>Propositional attitudes. I 372 At other points Wittgenstein speaks completely realistically of feelings, states of consciousness etc. only here, with the propositional attitudes it is about something completely different. III 148 Human/Description/Tractatus/Wittgenstein/Flor: as far as it can be described, it is a series of facts. However, it cannot be said that there is an inner connection between a person's thoughts, feelings and desires, not even between a person's actions and what we normally call the consequences. In describing a person, there will be no description of a thinking or wanting subject, soul or ego. It would only be descriptions of thoughts, feelings and humans. VI 97 Emotions/Wittgenstein/Schulte: are, for their part, facts. They can be described quite objectively and are in no way suitable to give value to what they refer to._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
