Abstract

The papers collected in this issue address diferent topics at play in the contemporary debate on positive feeling and emotion by virtue of both their primary function in everyday life and their embedded structure. Within this issue, specifc attention has been given to the intertwining of positive feeling and ethical issues according to diferent approaches whose goals consist in providing a description and clarifcation of the phenomena in question. The contributions gathered here give us a clear idea of the variety and possible nuances that defne positive feelings and, with them, of the complexity of our lives and reality. Specifcally, they concretely show the degree to which the quality of an experience depends on the agent-environment relationship, the benefts we can derive from certain positive experiences, and the extent to which the valence of an emotion can afect our moral life. * Correspondence: Roberta Guccinelli – Via dei Bacchettoni 11, 55100 Lucca, Italy. ** Correspondence: Gemmo Iocco – Dipartimento di Discipline Umanistiche, Sociali e delle Imprese Culturali, Area Filosofa, Via M.
