I divide all emotional experience into two main relational agential stances: relational threat (fear-driven, painful emotions) and relational promise (desire-driven, pleasurable emotions). On the one hand, fear emotions promote the embodied quest for the means of avoiding pain in the form of an emotional orientation. On the other hand, desire emotions promote the embodied quest for the means of pursuing pleasure in the form of a means of power. In this view, emotional experience is a structured experience of agential incapacity, in the case of fear-driven emotions, and a structured experience of agential capacity, in the case of desiredriven emotions.
