An important part of the Western philosophical tradition is inclined to leave emotions out of the standards of rationality and to disqualify them as kinds of judgment. The author singles out two lines of attack against emotions in that tradition. For the first, emotions are blind forces that do not partake in judgment and thinking. Contrary to what has been said, that line of attack has never been strongly supported by philosophers. The tradition to be criticized, if one thinks that emotions have to be rehabilitated, is rather that of the stoics. In that tradition one sees emotions as judgments of value, but as false judgments. This paper shows the weaknesses of that argument and exhibits its normative premises.
