Notes

1. In this paper we are using the word "emotion" rather broadly, more or less in the way Aristotle uses the word pathos: "By feelings [pathé] I mean appetite, anger, fear, confidence, envy, joy, love, hate, longing, jealousy, pity, in general whatever implies pleasure or pain." Nicomachean Ethics, trans. Terrence Irwin (Indianapolis: Hackett Publishing Company, 1985), 1105b20.
