Assuming that objects in the world not only instantiate descriptive properties like being round or being blue but also evaluative properties like being admirable or being unjust, how can we come to be aware of these evaluative aspects of reality? Some philosophers think that just as perceptions give us access to the perceptual descriptive aspects of reality, emotions give us access to the evaluative aspects of reality. This is one way to motivate a perceptual theory of emotion. Another way is to point to how emotions make it rational and justify it to hold something to be true or to perform a certain action. Many have argued that emo tions do play a rational and justifying role, and that this role is best understood by analogy with the rational and justifying role of perception. According to'strong perceptual ism', emotions are (a special kind of) perceptions (see, eg, James 1884; Tappolet 2000; Prinz 2004).'Weak perceptualism', by con trast, states that emotions are merely analogous to perceptions (see, eg, de Sousa 1987; Elgin 1996; Goldie 2000; Johnston 2001; Doring 2003; 2007; 2015; Roberts 2003; Zagzebski 2004; Deonna 2006; Montague 2009; Wringe 2014). A further distinction arises when we ask for the object of perception. On the one hand, there are Jamesian accounts that conceive emotions as perceptions of bodily changes. On the other hand, there are'evaluative'accounts according to which emotions are or are analogous to perceptions of valuesIn the following, we will concentrate on the latter type of accounts which we shall call'evaluative perceptualism'. 2 f University of Tubingen Philosophisches Seminar.
