Items related to On Disgust
Aurel Kolnai, considered a philosophy pioneer, draws on Husserl’s phenomenological method to dissect disgust. He distinguishes disgust from other emotions of aversion such as fear and contempt and shows how it relates to the five senses. Kolnai argues that disgust is never related to inorganic or nonbiological matter, and that its arousal by moral objects has an underlying similarity with its arousal by organic material: a particular combination of life and death. Included is an article published shortly before the author’s death titled "The Standard Modes of Aversion: Fear, Disgust, and Hatred."
