Abstract: This talk aims at exploring Landmann-Kalischer’s analogy between the sensing of secondary qualities and the feeling of values in her work “Philosophie der Werte” (Philosophy of Values) (1910). Attention is paid to the epistemic motivation of the analogy, the distinction between pure feelings and affects, and the relation of pure feelings to value judgments. As I shall argue, for Landmann-Kalischer, feelings can be both intentional and cognitive.

Biography: Íngrid Vendrell Ferran is professor of philosphy at the Philipps University Marburg. Her research areas include the theories of emotions and values in early phenomenology.
