1	Emotioner och livsmening : En undersökning av emotioners roll i upplevelsen av existentiell livsmening Myde Lantz, Magdalena January 2017 (has links) The purpose of this essay is to examine how to clarify and emphasize the relationship between emotions and meaning. I have explored how to make an adequate conceptualization of the role of emotions in the experience of existential meaning. To do that I have used a theory of emotion by Martha Nussbaum and an phenomenological theory of meaning by Martin Holmberg. To form an adequate conceptualization I have raised four analytical questions to the choosen material and I have also analyzed the material based to embrace the theories. The theories are the basis for the essay. The four questions I have chosen is; (1) What is emotion and meaning?, (2) What are the conditions for meaning and emotions?, (3) When do emotions arise that are involved in creating meaning and why?, (4) What role can religious emotions play? Based on the questions and the theories I have come up with a model I consider to be adequate for the role of emotions in the experience of meaning. emotions the intelligence of emotions religious emotions meaning meaning of life existential meaning phenomenological meaning emotioner intelligenta emotioner religiösa emotioner mening livsmening existentiell mening fenomenologisk mening Philosophy, Ethics and Religion Filosofi, etik och religion
