Question: Your task for the paper: Explain using an example of EITHER passive fear, or active fear, how, fear, as emotion:

1) transforms the world that you face in everyday life;

2) achieves that transformation through a modification of your bodily conduct (comportement, in French) toward things, such that

3) the transformation is 'magical' (in what sense is it magic?) and

4) the 'magic trick' is driven by and responds to the world as challenging your efforts to act freely and efficaciously. Finally: in 1 to 2 sentences: indicate your response to Sartre's claim about emotion and/or its relation to freedom (e.g., is it insightful, helpful, compelling, plausible, implausible); indicate the sorts of reasons that would support your response (but you don't need to go into detail, just point toward them).

NOTE: I listed these as four points you need to explain, but this doesn't mean you need to cover them as separate points in the order listed here. You can have one stream of discussion that interweaves the four points. It might be helpful for you, when reading Sartre's chapter and preparing to write your paper, to think about Ted Chiang's "What's expected of us" story, and the way that, in face of the Predictor, some people end up in a state of "akinetic mutism, a waking coma." What are the analogies and disanalogies between this, and, e.g., Sartre on fainting? If you have room, you might be able to include something about this in your answer, but make sure you cover the above first.
