My article 'Emotions and their Reasons' is out in Inquiry!🤘
Losses are reason for sadness and injustices are reason for anger..
..but what do we mean when we say there are reasons for emotions?
Are there distinctively affective reasons?
I think so.

🚨After three intense days reviewing 229 applications to the lab, only 20 candidates will be contacted for the next steps. This inspired me to create a short guide to help students succeed in applying to grad school. I've also prepared a podcast episode on this topic :

This asshole's election is terrible for climate action given the little time we have to act decisively. But we live in a world of Polycentric climate governance and other agents have a duty to pick up the slack. And that includes with Canada. Do not vote Conservative. Please.

New article published in Erkenntnis 😃 As the title says, I argue that emotions represent properties unconsciously. I also discuss which theories are in contradiction with this claim, its links to conscious representation and to unconscious emotions. link.springer.com/article/10…
