Most theories work not because of the data they adduce but on the basis of what they ignore. Emotions and cognitions both require neurobiology; what we see in the infant has real significance for our understanding of the adult. I know you read a lot years ago. Is it really your position that nothing has happened in our field since Sartre's work on emotion half a century ago? Please read my 1992 book, or at least skim it while standing in a bookstore. I've published more than 3.000 pages of written and edited material in the past decade, and until you've studied some of it, you and I can't talk about theory.
