Description
Aurel Kolnai's On Disgust explores the complex nature of aversion through the lens of phenomenology. He identifies a unique double intentionality in emotions like fear, highlighting both the object of concern and the individual's own well-being.
Kolnai argues that disgust is distinct from fear, and its relationship to moral objects shares an underlying similarity with its response to organic matter - a combination of life and death. This book presents an analytical list of various kinds of disgusting objects, examining how disgust relates to our senses.
