Whoa, only 5% in and already my view of emotions has been paradigm-shifted by @LFeldmanBarrett book How Emotions Are Made http://amzn.to/2HDPN6D thanks whoever recommended it
This constructivist theory of emotion is the relativity theory required to understand identity politics

That seems to represent the classical theory of emotion that Barrett’s book debunks pretty convincingly in the first 5%.

Could you post some specific claims? Panksepp shows how there are core, "primitive" emotional responses and behaviors that are shared. He does not argue against more complex emotions or emotional regulation being more constructivist

Too hard to summarize. Read the book if you’re interested.

Ok I read first 5%. This is more pop neuro than Panksepp so maybe unfair to compare. I don't see much contradiction. Simplification, yes. Also perhaps attacking a strawman of classic neuro. Or perhaps Panksepp is not classic neuro. Eg he would not consider Happy or Angry as corepic.twitter.com/7kWHcCoHmO

For scientific evidence supporting the theory of constructed emotion in my book, see my academic website (http://affective-science.org ), for example, this paper. http://www.affective-science.org/pubs/2017/barrett-tce-scan-2017.pdf …

Thanks for the clarifications. Looking forward to finishing up the book. Came at an appropriate time for some of my own projects.
