for example, can i love,hate, admire, pitty, crave, be intrigued by something simultaneously? (all that towards the same thing…object or peson).
i’ve felt it… who else has?
is there any thinker that has mentioned this before?
Yes, lots of thinkers, from Plato and Aristotle to Spinoza and Nietzsche have developed extensive theories of the emotions. The nature of the emotions plays a key role in formulating a theory of human development, socially, psychologically, biologically and so on.
The entire difficulty in your dilemma of ‘multiple simultaneous emotional states’ is deciding what language to speak about emotions in. It’s here I think that Lacan on the question of desire makes a lot of sense. For example, Lacan argues that the unconscious is structured like a language (not that it is, but that it’s like a language.)
On this point, you might be interested in reading about the constructed logical language Lojban, which allows explicit interjections to express propositional attitudes towards situations, objects and people, ranging from simple emotions (like happiness, courage or pity) to complex emotions (like pride, anger, or pleasure) to pure emotions (like fear, respect, and love.) There’s even a form for complex propositional attitudes like ‘freedom’ or ‘incompetence’ or ‘resistance to constraint’!
awesome, thank u for the rich response, I’ll check them out.
u r the man.
Always grateful to be of service 
What got you thinking about the question?
No, obviously not if by ‘hate’ you mean something akin to ‘not love’ (which I assume you almost certainly do). To do so would violate the law of noncontradiction.
It’s possible to be confused by emotions and to be unable to define or to express them. It’s possible to love some thing at one moment and to hate it the next. But to both love and not love the same thing in the same respect at the same time cannot happen.
sometimes i think i have contraditcing feelings toward the same thing…
you cant contradict as a law, howether you can have different feelings towards different apects of something, thats expected and possible.
your logic and rationality comprehension isnt great, i advise you think more about it.
ASPECTS…that’s it!!!
ASPECTS!!!
i feel different things towards the aspects!!!
You might enjoy reading 1984, by George Orwell. He develops an idea called doublethink, the gist of which is that a person can think two contradictory thoughts about a subject simultaneously. Interesting read if nothing else.
Yes, that’s true. We can feel different emotions, even contradictory emotions toward various aspects of the same thing. For instance, we might love our new car’s design but hate the way it handles.
However, we will either love our new car or not love it because there is no third option available to us.
Note: For purposes of this argument ‘love’ is defined as a specific psychological state and any psychological state that is not describled by this definition is categorized as ‘not love.’ This means, obviously, that ‘hate’ is not the contradictory of ‘love’ but is only a contrary of it. ‘Indifference,’ among many other psychological states, is ‘not love’ just as much as ‘hate’ is.
