Abstrakt:

The reactive attitudes through which we hold people accountable (resentment, guilt, and blame) have been much studied. But P. F. Strawson gave other examples – love, gratitude, and „hurt feelings“. I present an analysis of these attitudes as „second-personal attitudes of the heart.“ Whereas the deontic moral attitudes are attitudes of the will – expressing demands from one will to another – second-personal attitudes of the heart open one’s heart to another’s in the hope that theirs will be open to one’s heart in return. In the process we arrive at a perfectly general account of attitudes as „reciprocating attitudes.“
