Teórie emócií a fikcia
Theories of emotions and fiction

Summary/Abstract: Philosophical theories of emotions have problems in explaining emotional reactions to ficticious events. We demonstrate the problem of all propositional theories and suggest a solution that is based on a perceptual account. We illustrate the problems of propositional theories by pointing out logical inconsistencies, as well as unclarities with the immediacy of emotional reactions to fiction. We explain how perceptual account, enriched by a specific form of intentionality, offers an elegant solution to the basic problem of a coordination between an occurrence of an emotion and a belief about its ficticious origin. By the way of concluding we point it its still unresolved issues.
