The place of the lived body in emotional experience is examined. Four layers, or levels, of lived‐emotion are identified: (1) sensible feelings, (2) feelings of the lived body, (3) intentional value‐feelings, (4) feelings of the self or the moral person. An account of lived emotionality given by James Joyce is analyzed. The importance of a phenomenological and interactionist view of self, emotionality and social experience is indicated.
