Self and Emotional Life: Philosophy, Psychoanalysis, and Neuroscience · Adrian Johnston & Catherine Malabou · p.68
4. > Definition of the Emotions (Affects)
Theoretical move: The passage moves from a Spinozist-Deleuzian account of affect as variability of conatus (heteroaffection) to the problem of how infinite Being itself can be "affected," proposing that a non-subjective autoaffection opens a space or "map" in Being — a move that reframes affect as ontological inscription rather than phenomenological feeling.
The finite conatus is the finite modality of such an ontological mapping, of this spacing without subject or consciousness.
