On Emotional Presentation, first published in German in 1917, contains the Austrian philosopher Alexius Meinong's clearest and most-developed account of the emotions and their relation to values. In this work, which was written toward the end of his life, Meinong argues that values are given in and through emotions but are also ontologically independent of these emotions or any subjective attitude. Available again in English with a new foreword by John J. Drummond that presents Meinong's account and situates it in the context of contemporary discussions of the emotions, this translation will be welcome to those interested in Meinong and his theory of objects as well as those interested in the philosophy of the emotions and values.
