In General Definition of the Emotions, the speaker defines a passive emotion as a confused idea that expresses a change in bodily power and directs thought toward a particular thing. The explanation distinguishes this change from conscious comparison with the past and connects the definition with pleasure, pain, and desire.
Cosa succede
- The speaker defines passive emotion through a confused idea that expresses bodily power and directs thought.
- The explanation links mental passivity to inadequate ideas and says bodily ideas chiefly indicate the condition of our own body.
- A change in bodily power does not require the mind to compare present and past conditions.
- The mind changes in perfection as its affirmation of bodily existence involves more or less reality.
- The definition covers pleasure and pain through changes in power, and desire through the direction of thought.
