The Epistemic Significance of Emotional Experience
Emotion Review, 2020Some philosophers claim that emotions are, at best, hindrances to the discovery of evaluative truths, while others omit them entirely from their epistemology of value.

Acta Analytica, 2019In this paper, I discuss the intrinsic value of truth from the perspective of the emotion studies in virtue epistemology. The strategy is the one that looks at epistemic emotions as driving forces towards truth as the most valuable epistemic good.

Aesthetic Emotions are Epistemic Emotions
In this paper, I argue that aesthetic emotions are epistemic emotions. This claim helps resolve an apparent contradiction that relates to the concept of aesthetic disinterestedness. On the one hand, disinterestedness—being free from desires, practical concerns, or intense motivational involvement—is often regarded as central to aesthetic experience andopenaire +1 more source
