Abstract   (2928 Views)
Avicenna did not explicitly present a distinct theory titled Theory of Emotions in his works. However, based on scattered references, it appears that the core of emotions, in his view, is evaluation, divided into two categories: motivational and non-motivational. Another component that seems common in all instances of emotions is pleasure and pain, although there is also evidence against this claim. There are ambiguities in Avicenna's text regarding the relationship between emotions and the body, but most evidence favors the assumption of a non-essential relationship between emotions and the body. Concerning the relationship between emotions and ethics, the conceptual analysis of virtue as one of the pillars of ethical discourse indicates a necessary relationship between emotions and virtues, suggesting a connection between emotions and ethics.
