Snippet:

Emotion is a daily, if not a moment-by-moment, occurrence. However, a treatise on

emotion theory has to jump away temporarily from the everyday and instead begin with

a consideration of what makes a good theory of emotion. If one were setting out to

build a theory of emotion, what would one necessarily include, what issues wouldhav e

to be dealt with? Although these are perfectly reasonable questions, they do not delve

quite far enough. In order to make judgements about what is a good theory of emotion

it is important to have some understanding of what makes a good theory in general, or,

if not in general, at least in the science of psychology. This, then, is the starting point.

There have been many penetrating analyses of the characteristics of good theory,

but to reiterate them would be to go too far. It is enough to mention a few that might be

considered particularly significant in the context of the present endeavour.
