“…To specify the connection between emotions and values, let us recall three types of properties that are characteristic of emotions (Deonna and Teroni, 2009). First, emotions are felt, and therefore have a phenomenology.…”

“…What is the nature of this intentional link, and what is the object of emotions? For some theoreticians the link is perceptive , and the objects of emotions are values (Deonna and Teroni, 2009; Tappolet, 2000). Emotions are perceptions of values that are manifested in the holistic and pre-reflexive mode of ‘seeing as’: I see this lion as being dangerous, so I am afraid, or I see this behaviour as being cruel so I am indignant.…”

“…This perceptual and emotional model of values has another consequence: it makes it possible to distinguish, in the repertoire of principle-values Nathalie Heinich talks of, those values that are “detected” by the emotions and thereby linked to the action. Since emotions incorporate “action tendencies”, perceiving a value via the emotions is tantamount to experiencing one’s environment as a call to action ( appel à l’action ) (Deonna and Teroni, 2009; Frijda, 1986). Emotions may even be considered as the internal counterpart of the action to which they should theoretically give rise: flight (fear), protest (indignation), revenge (humiliation), destruction (anger), repulsion (disgust), display (pride), and so on (Frijda, 1986).…”

This article discusses some of the central theses proposed by Nathalie Heinich in her book Des Valeurs ( Values). After focusing on the distinction between norms and values, and the inductive approach favoured by an axiological sociology, we will address how public values might emotionally engage actors, the specificity of moral values and of people as ‘objects of valuation’ and, finally, the ambiguities inherent in the ‘axiologically neutral’ reconstruction of an ‘axiological grammar’. Somewhat countering the ‘descriptive relativism’ that Nathalie Heinich advocates, we will argue, from a pragmatist stance, in favour of a minimal moral realism based on axiological affordances. Finally, we will show that such a stance helps to account for the normative functioning of the public sphere.

“…Here, 'values' represents what gives meaning to action, although not exclusively as an abstract object to consciously work towards. At a more primitive level, 'values' are more properties of a particular type that are exemplified by contexts, objects or behaviours: emotions-such as fear-link us with exemplifications of these evaluative properties-for example danger [37]. In an emotional state, the body becomes prepared to potentially take action and "the specific way it is prepared is interpreted, very naturally, as an apprehension of some of the evaluative aspects of the environment.…”

The Fukushima Daiichi accident raises questions about current decision-making models. Faced with an overwhelming situation, which threatened both their own lives and that of the entire population, the plant's operators were obliged to take action, despite the lack of resources. In these conditions, decision making cannot be reduced to an optimization exercise based on a range of possibilities, or the application of planned operational responses to an emergency situation. The inevitable catastrophe, the social pressure it generates, the moral dilemmas it creates and the psychological drivers for action are characteristic of an extreme situation. The action plan must therefore be reinvented and individuals mobilised to these ends. It is therefore in a broader context of 'action' that decision making takes shape, and finds its logical foundations, meaning and temporality. Understanding decision making in extreme situations first requires a grasp of the development of a specific value system (that is mediated by the physical experience of the situation) in which the individual and social representations play a central role.
