The Not Altogether Social Construction of Emotions: A Critique of Harré and Gillett
Are emotions like sneezes, unwilled, mechanical, or are they like judgments; are they entirely social constructions? Harré and Gillett believe that emotions are exclusively judgments. We argue that their view misses something important. Imagine a person quaking in anger. Both we and Harré and Gillett believe that he is angry only if he has made an implicit judgment, such as I have been transgressed against. But it is the quaking, not the judgment…
In Defense of Shame: Shame in the Context of Guilt and Embarrassment
We are interested in the relations among shame, guilt, and embarrassment and especially in how each relates to judgments of character. We start by analyzing the distinction between being and feeling guilty, and unearth the role of shame as a guilt feeling. We proceed to examine shame and guilt in relation to moral responsibility and to flaws of character. We address a recent psychological finding (Tangney, Wagner, Hill‐Barlow, and Marshall, 1996;…

On the Possible Non‐Existence of Emotions: The Passions
This paper attempts to demonstrate, at least for the passions, that while emotions are important elements of common sense psychological thought, they are not psychological, neural, or mental entities. People talk of emotions, we claim, in two sorts of cases: Firstly, when it is believed that someone has done something that she shouldn't because she has been overwhelmed by desire (a motive) and secondly, when someone is found to be compelled to de…

Embarrassment: A Dramaturgic Account
Humiliation: Feeling, Social Control and the Construction of Identity
On the captivity of the will: Sympathy, caring, and a moral sense of the human
We are concerned in this paper with the question of what more there is to human nature than cognition, with what it is to be a person (or animal) in the sense of something that would justify our sympathy. We examine pain, emotion, and the abrogation of values as sources of our sympathy for one another. We further argue that our sympathy over each of these unfortunate events is connected with our sense that they are beyond a person' s (or an anima…

On the Irrelevance of Evil: The Organization and Individual Action
The phenomenon of obedience is usually considered on an individual level, although typically acts of obedience are committed by an individual who is acting within an organizational framework. This paper discusses how the structure and function of the hierarchical organization alters the perspective by which individuals view their actions, and changes an individual's perception of his or her role and responsibility. Organizational dehumanization a…
Objectifiability and Calling Rights Into Play: An Empirical Study
This paper is an investigation of the relation between the difficulty actors have in demonstrating the "objectivity" of the wrongness of a putative offense and the inhibition that actors experience in attempting to make a moral reproach; that is, according to the theory tested, an individual needs to be able to make patent to himself and others that a concrete action of another is the sort of thing that "everyone would see as wrong" as a prerequi…
