Descrizione

The main aim of this essay is to show how the social dimension and the subjective dimension are not two irreconcilable moments in the definition of the peculiar nature of emotions. The hypothesis will be primarily developed by reference to George Herbert Mead’s social theory. The first section shows how Mead’s peculiarity consists precisely in being able to provide, at the same time, both a theoretical-epistemological foothold for problems of a general nature that concern reflection on emotions and a reference that allows the declination of those same problems in purely sociological terms. The second section focuses in a more circumscribed way on the field of sociology of emotions, showing how the issues developed in the first section have found development in the context of sociological positions explicitly influenced by Mead’s theory. The last section will show how such positions are partially unsatisfactory from the point of view of the Meadian interpretation of emotional phenomena: emotional experience can be adequately understood in sociological terms as a cooperative experience, never subtracted to a dimension of practical intersubjectivity.
