Monadic Emotions, Dyadic Emotions, Triadic Emotions: The 1-2-3 Emotion
Model (Peircean Kainopythagorean Phaneroscopic Model of Emotion) and the
Fundamental Questions to the Emotion-Involved Processing Hypothesis
Abstract
In this paper, the author theoretically elaborated on the
Emotion-Involved Processing Hypothesis (Kanazawa, 2021 in Sage
Open) via three fundamental questions. Utilizing the undereappreciated
phaneroscopic categories of Charles Sanders Peirce and via a plethora of
previous findings in psychology, philosophy, and neuroscience, the
author proposed a novel and promising conceptual framework of Monadic,
Dyadic, and Triadic Emotions that has multiple advantages and
significant potentiality for applying in different disciplinary
investigations on emotion. The trans-disciplinary potentiality of the
conceptual framework proposed in this manuscript will not only intrigue
readers from diverse academic domains but also provide alternative
analysis perspectives to help researchers delve deeper into
conceptualizing emotions and giving rationales to research findings.
