      I made this distinction a while ago and I think it's important. Recently came across another interestingly similar distinction.https://twitter.com/GeniesLoki/status/1309243425376669707 …

      Like there's a very specific felt distinction between "I will fight you!" (anger) and "I will fight you, and I want it to hurt you!" (rage) for me.

      First off though, there's a single line from an otherwise *deeply* forgettable film that has stuck with me for years. The film is the live action version of 101 Dalmatians (yes, really).

      "It's not hatred that's important, it's the desire to annihilate." This is a surprisingly good distinction.https://youtu.be/RxERE27-DA4?t=53 …

      In the same way that there is an anger -> rage transition from "I will fight you" to "I will fight you and I want it to hurt you" there is a hatred -> loathing transition from "I do not want this in my presence" to "This should not exist".

      There is a very strong visceral felt sense of "AAAH KILL IT WITH FIRE" you get when you encounter a target of loathing. The desire to annihilate.

      What's interesting with both of these transitions is that in some sense the stronger emotion is just the weaker emotion but more so. Rage is just more anger, loathing is just more hatred. But it crosses a threshold where the response changes and this in turn changes the feeling.

      You get this with positive emotions too I think. Love is "just" liking but you do it lots, but at some point the quality of the emotion changes in a way that saying "I love you" is more than "I like you a lot" because you've crossed that threshold.

      I often think of emotions as dispositional: They are (or include) a felt sense that you are predisposed towards a particular class of actions or attitude towards the world. e.g. liking something means you are inclined towards more of it in your life.

      Have you read Lisa Feldman Barrett's book How Emotions Are Made? It is the best book I've read about emotions, and the first chapter debunks studies that say emotions are culturally universalhttps://lisafeldmanbarrett.com/books/how-emotions-are-made/ …

      I have. It's useful and interesting, but I find a lot of it as a bit suspish but more importantly I think she's making a very nonstandard distinction between emotions and feelings and then getting mad when other people use words differently than she does.

          And I mean yes it's obviously true that emotions are culturally determined and there are looping constructs around this, but there are still feelings people experience that can usefully be described with emotion words.

          So how do you reconcile the "felt sense that you are predisposed towards a particular class of actions or attitude towards the world" with the constructivist culturally-influenced view of emotions?
