Abstract
The theories of emotions put forward in the contemporary philosophy of mind are mainly cognitive. One of the much discussed themes has been the question of the relation between the cognitive component and other components of an occurrent emotion: should emotions be equated with cognitive evaluations or should an evaluation be regarded as a cause or as a constitutional component of an actual emotion? These kinds of questions were much discussed in ancient and medieval philosophy — in fact the popularity of emotions in the contemporary philosophy of mind has strongly stimulated studies of similar discussions in the history of philosophy.
