LOAIZA, JUAN R.. CONTROVERSIES AROUND EVERYDAY CONCEPTS AND SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS OF EMOTION. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2022, vol.71, suppl.8, pp.192-217. Epub 19-Jun-2024. ISSN 0120-0062. https://doi.org/10.15446/ideasyvalores.v71n8supl.103850.
I argue that the controversy between Basic Emotion Theory and Psychological Constructionism lies in differences regarding the role of folk concepts of emotion in the scientific domain. To do so, I analyze the discussions surrounding the universality of facial expressions and the existence of neurophysiological correspondences for each emotion. I show that in both discussions we are in a space of empirical under-determination, that precludes settling the controversy by appealing to experimental results. Finally, I conclude with some suggestions as to how to settle the controversy.
