Reply To: Emotion is Sensing

Interesting point, Ivory, I can't leave this thread unnoticed.
Not going to involve with the discussion though, just leaving physiological theories of emotions of those (James-Lange, Cannon-Bard, Schachter-Singer) who had suggested almost the same thing you mentioned, experimented, actualized ones, specifically in the field of behaviorism. John Watson, one of the founding fathers of behavioral psychology believed that even the most complex emotions are aroused by the very simple stimulus, which is, sensing, by nature.
