Abstract:   (344 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, that are divided into two categories: motivational emotions and non-motivational emotions. Another component that seems to be common in all instances of emotions is pleasure and pain, although there is also evidence against this claim. Regarding the relationship between emotions and the body, there are ambiguities in Avicenna's text, 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 necessary connection between emotions and ethics.
