ABSTRACT
This chapter provides two interrelated themes: that there are important constitutive connections between emotions and values, and that there are important epistemological connections between them. It shows that how emotions might seem external to values: by only 'pointing to' them, or by being only useful for them, or by being only added flourishes to them to show the constitutive connections. The chapter concerns some ways emotions reveal, or do not reveal, value. It also shows that how emotions provide evidence for or symptoms of value to show the epistemological connections. It concludes by showing how emotions are expressions of, and may even be, evaluative knowledge. It suggests that there are important and typical connections between having or lacking emotions and the soundness or otherwise of judgments, including evaluative ones. Psychoanalysis offers us complementary arguments that show how emotions—emotions as affective—explain their non-affective elements.
