The details of this theory, and of the Sartrean objections to it, will occupy us in Chapter 4, when we consider Sartre’s account of emotions. What is of direct relevance to the present discussion is that subjectivism severs consciousness from its object. Hence, the intentionality of feeling is ignored, and the emotional experience is isolated from its signification, producing the psychological 19 T H E P H I LO S O P H Y O F S A RT R E counterpart of idealist metaphysics, that is “the solipsism of affectivity” (IPPI 68).
