碩士 / 國立中山大學 / 哲學研究所 / 103 / This thesis analyzes and compares the concept of “Emotion,” defined by Heidegger the philosopher and Damasio the neurobiologist, respectively. Through the comparisons, this work hopes to open the discussion between philosophy and neuropsychology.
Heidegger’s discussion on “mood” starts with his analysis on the phenomenology of “fear,” the common reaction of human beings towards something particular and threatening. Then Heidegger goes deeper to discuss the feeling of “anxiety,” the feeling that he believes to accompany our being in the world.
Damasio, on the other hand, defines “mood” as a series of nerve reaction, “emotion” as a neural response within the body, and “feeling” as a conscious reaction of the body. He analyzes how “emotion” is triggered by observing patients with mental illness and argues the function of “emotion.”
By comparing the arguments of these two equally non-traditional and challenging scholars, this thesis argues that the theory of Heidegger and Damasio can complement each other and by doing so, we get to open a conversation between philosophy and neuropsychology.
