Research over the past decades has demonstrated the explanatory power of emotions, feelings, motivations, moods, and other affective processes when trying to understand and predict how we think and behave. In this consensus article, we ask: has the increasingly recognized impact of affective phenomena ushered in a new era, the era of affectivism?

Mixed inferences are a problem for truth pluralism, a doctrine which aims at combining truth assessability and anti‐realism with respect to allegedly non‐descriptive sentences, such as moral sentences. It seems that truth pluralists have to give up the classical account of validity. Against this,JC Beall suggests that truth pluralists can adopt the account of validity usedin many‐valued logics: validity can be defined as the conservation of designatedvalues. The problem, I argue, is that there is ground to believe that on this account sentences which are true in one or other way also fall under a generic truth predicate. I also argue that mixed conjunctions make for a further problem for truth pluralism, and more particularly for Beall's version of it. Finally, I consider the deeper worry that the distinction between truth which does and truth which does not entail realism is inferentially irrelevant.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
