 On one view—a “weak” or response-dependent value realism—to perceive a value (wertnehmen) is for an intentional feeling or  emotion[15]  to grasp an entity (e.g., a thing, state of affairs, action, event, person, institution) as valued—or, as in the case of Harman’s cat example, disvalued. Someone’s horror upon seeing the boys burning the cat takes the burning of the cat by the boys as dastardly. The (dis)value of the boys’ action is grounded in the particular, non-axiological features involved (the boys’ pouring gasoline on the cat and igniting the gasoline), which, relative to the experiential history, interests, concerns, and commitments (including moral) of the subject, are taken to be (dis)valuable. Just as the perception of a thing S takes S as p (the cat as having gasoline poured on it and ignited by the group of boys), the feeling-apprehension or emotional apprehension takes Sp as v (the cat’s being burned by the boys as horrible). The non-axiological property p psychologically motivates the experience of the emotion with its correlative value property, and p also epistemically (and, contra Väyrynen 2018, non-inferentially) justifies the value-attribution. And just as the perceptual taking of S as p (the cat as having gasoline poured on it and ignited by the group of boys) includes the naive belief in the existence of Sp (has realist purport), the feeling or emotional apprehension of Sp as v (the cat’s having been burned by the boys as horrible) includes the naive belief in the existence of Sp along with its value-attribute v. Feelings and emotions, in other words, are a kind of axiological perception revelatory of value-properties.
