Pattern of Sentiment: Following a Deweyan Suggestion

This paper follows a Deweyan suggestion and proposes a structure for emotional activity —pattern of sentiment—as a way to grasp emotional experience in its live occurrence by building upon Dewey's crucial notion of situation. The first part outlines Dewey's criticisms of James's idea of emotion, and verifies the ways in which the recent developments of neuroscience overcome these. Given that Dewey's work is a propitious ground for continuing to renew the discourse about the activities of mind the second part of the paper outlines a pattern for emotional activity, setting up the first steps for a situational approach of Deweyan inspiration to the nature of emotion. I conclude by pointing out how such a pattern may be a unifying tool for the different emotion theories briefly describing some of the rich directions it provides for future research on the philosophy of emotion.
