One basic way of thinking about emotions is as information‑selection devices. As such, they structure and coordinate our (a) perceptual input by arranging and prioritizing relevant information. As selective constraints on input, emotions initially focus our attention on subjects (b) important to our goals, wants, and interests. Then, reinforced by physiological changes, they move us towards action. Despite the habitual discursive distinction between intellect and affect, therefore, emotions can be considered rational in a narrower sense, since they constitute an effective response in a given set of circumstances by supplying information about reasonable action. (c) Claiming that emotions are vital for intelligent action means adopting what Dylan Evans calls ‘the positive view of emotion’. Findings from evolutionary theory further substantiate the idea that ‘the benefits of having emotions outweigh the drawbacks’. The neuroscientist Antonio Damasio, who has studied the role of emotion in decision‑making and other tasks commonly considered ‘purely rational’, goes so far as to conclude that, in matters of social and personal importance, good decisions (d) exclude an emotional component. Consequently, in addition to adopting rational strategies such as cost‑benefit analyses, people appear to deliberate, narrow down, and choose from a range of behavioural options through an initial emotional (e) assessment of envisioned outcomes as either beneficial or harmful.
