    Abstract:

    People often talk about the intensity of their emotions: they tell us that their anger is overwhelming, that they feel extremely sad, or that they are madly in love. Despite the common usage of terms, which measure emotional intensity, the notion of «emotional intensity» is far from clear. In this paper I first clarify this complex notion and then discuss the circumstances in which emotions become intensified.
