TITLE: The Metaphysics of Moods
ABSTRACT:

Moods are fam iliar\, but their nature is elusive. After presenting three important chara cteristics of paradigmatic moods\, like anxiety or irritability\, I discuss the main accounts that have been proposed in the literature\, namely\, dis positional accounts and accounts according to which moods are kinds of emot ions\, such as the generalized object accounts. I argue that these accounts are flawed and have to be replaced by the view that moods concern the like lihood of evaluative possibilities.

 

 

This event is free and open to the public\, faculty\, staff and students.
