What makes Reddy?s\u0000 approach unique is that, unlike standard political, social, economic and\u0000 similar approaches, it emphasizes the role that emotions and emotional\u0000 suffering have in the change of political regimes. For this purpose Reddy\u0000 introduces the concept of emotives. According to him, we use emotives to\u0000 express and change the emotions we feel. By expressing and changing\u0000 emotions, we reconsider the values we endorse, and in the times of crisis,\u0000 we sometimes embrace new ones. In this way, emotives play important role not\u0000 only in the emotional regulation but also in the formation of our identity.\u0000 Reddy argues that in the strict emotional regimes in which the use of\u0000 emotives is restricted individuals experience emotional suffering. Such\u0000 suffering is not relative to culture and can be objectively measured. Thus,\u0000 for Reddy some political regimes are better than others. Within this\u0000 theoretical framework Reddy describes the emotional regime of the French\u0000 society that preceded the revolution as strict. According to him, emotional\u0000 suffering that was caused by such regime played substantial role in bringing\u0000 about the revolution. In this paper I will argue that the emotional regime\u0000 of the 18th century France was not as strict as Reddy argues. What was\u0000 strict were the rules for how to behave not for the emotional expressions,\u0000 i.e. for the use of emotives. Thus, his analysis of the emotional\u0000 pre-revolutionary regime is not without weakness. I will conclude with some\u0000 problems that Reddy?s analysis of the acute emotional suffering\u0000 characteristic of the revolutionary period faces.","PeriodicalId":374875,"journal":{"name":"Theoria, Beograd","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115754780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This\u0000 view is worth considering for those philosophers who do not accept\u0000 physicalism for some reason or another. However, a common objection to this\u0000 view, which can be found in Richard Taylor?s work, is that it leads to an\u0000 unacceptable consequence that existing mental events are not important in\u0000 explaining or understanding our behaviour, given that it predicts that\u0000 nothing would change even if corresponding mental events had not occurred.\u0000 In this paper, a response to this objection is provided.

Furthermore, by using an interpretation of the Aristotelian\u0000 view of the nature of geometrical objects as analogy, a model of how\u0000 noncausal (and nonphysical) phenomenal consciousness could be explanatorily\u0000 powerful is provided, which renders epiphenomenalism intelligible.","PeriodicalId":374875,"journal":{"name":"Theoria, Beograd","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125486911","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
