 Conative Attitudes. Conative experiences are the third kind of attitudes that attracted substantial attention in early phenomenology (see Pfänder 1900, 1911a, 1913, 1916; von Hildebrand 1916; Scheler 1913/16, esp. 141ff; Reinach 1912/13, and Reiner 1927). Conative attitudes share the core properties of doxastic and affective attitudes: once a subject is confronted with certain facts in cognitions or presentations, it is possible for her to respond to those facts by adopting a conative position. To go back to the previous example, the acquaintance with the disvalue of the child falling on the street can also motivate you to adopt a particular conative stance, e.g., by forming the will to help the child.
