A Theory of the Eerie (CoffeeHour)

Blakely Phillips (@ifalioncould), Georgia State University



"Abstract-in-a-tweet": This paper argues that eeriness is an at least partly epistemic emotion. What makes different kinds of experiences eerie is the judgment that the eerie situation might contain an invisible threat to the experiencer's epistemic worldview or physical safety. [Extended abstract available]
