Abstract

The emotions are natural reactions in all the human beings. But although the emotions often have irrational characteristic expressions, it is necessary that they respect the parameters of the functional behavior. This article offers an approach about the relationship between emotion and rationality, looking for the possibility of conceiving a notion of rational love. In this approach, we used the theory of rationality of emotions of Jon Elster, concluding that the possibility of a rational love is based on the evaluation of causal lines and beliefs that support our conception of love.
