Abstract
Emotions are complex systems that combine thoughts, culture, feelings, and contexts and do not follow traditional logical patterns, making their comprehension challenging. Some theories, such as those of Solomon (2003) and Ben Ze'ev (2004), suggest that emotions can approach rationality at certain moments. However, emotions cannot be explained rationally in some situations, as not all are cognitions. Emotions possess a different, sensible logic that does not align with traditional rationality. This work argues that emotions are reasonable, alogical, complex, and sensible, forming a coherent yet non-rational reasoning system. Emotions can be understood from an aesthetic perspective, a framework of sensible knowledge. I propose observing the sensible from this framework of understanding, where they can be evaluated and comprehended in argumentation as forms of the sensible.
