Abstract

This panel explores the role of emotion as a methodological tool in normative political theory, examining how emotions shape political judgment, engagement, and theorization. Contributions might consider approaches that attend to lived emotional experiences, the role of negative emotions in political critique, or the role of passion in politics and normative inquiry. By foregrounding emotion, this panel invites reflections on how affective dimensions of politics can enrich methodological innovation in political theory.
