Description:First published in German in 1917, On Emotional Presentation
investigates the interrelation of emotions, values, and obligation.
Alexius Meinong presents a realist theory of values in which values are
given in and through emotion but are also ontologically independent of
emotion or any subjective attitude. Meinongs first discusses the concept
of intellectual presentation (psychic experiences such as ideas,
judgments, and assumptions), and then extends his inquiry to the psychic
experience by which values, aesthetic properties, and obligations are
presented. These emotional presentations are explored through a careful
psychological and epistemological analysis.
