There are by necessity emotional moments in the Self, without them no Self. Metaphorically, we can say that the Self moves in emotional space.¹ The reasons for this are as follows: 1) Heidegger was right about the Self being something that cares for itself. And Robert C. Roberts is right in saying that emotions are concern-based construals (a construal is created by seeing-as, i.e. aspect seeing). The present writer maintains that the Self is a construal; we see different emotional episodes, thoughts, actions and so on as being a part of a whole, a Gestalt called the Self. Thus, the Self has the same structural properties as emotions; it is a concern-based construal. So the first dimension of the emotional space of the Self is the dimension of concerns. The Self can move towards or away from given concerns but never escape the dimension. 2) Now, Harry Frankfurt quite correctly says that a person’s identity is partly constituted by the set of passions he or she endorses. To use the terminology of the present writer, a person must place herself at a distance or in proximity to certain passions, at distance from the ones she rejects, in proximity to those she endorses. This is the second dimension of emotional space, the dimension of endorsed or rejected emotions.3)The third dimension is the one of Self-consciousness. Antonio Damasio has put forth some convincing arguments in favor of our Self-awareness being emotional; we feel that we are, but we do not know it in an intellectual fashion. This dimension of the cogito is a sort of micro-space where closeness is all there is, closeness to the I-am. 4) The next dimension is that of narrativity. The present writer maintains that the constitutive stories of the Self are stories with emotive structure. The inspiration comes from Patrick Colm Hogan. 5) The last dimension is the dimension of strong evaluation. Charles Taylor is right about strong evaluation being a part of who we are. These evaluations are emotional, we evaluate strongly by pulling us from evaluations we do not want to have and push ourselves towards those we want to have. 6) I point out that we in our workaday life actually identify others and ourselves on emotional ground (“Joan the proud”) and that our concept of Self is designed for beings that usually have emotions and that these emotions tend to matter for these beings.
