ABSTRACT
We sometimes experience emotions as ‘ours’, not as ‘mine’: ‘we rejoice the victory’ as opposed to ‘I rejoice the victory’. In the contemporary debate, a consensus has been that there is a sense of ‘our’ that is stronger than and cannot be captured by “‘I (A) feel X’ and ‘I (B) feel X’ and we are mutually aware that both of us feel X”. Such experiences are called (genuinely) shared or collective emotions. But what makes them ‘shared’ (in this strong sense) as opposed to individual?
