Abstract
Emotions are one of the topics that have caught the attention of analytical philosophy during
the past years, and philosophers have developed different theories in this field. In this article, I
shall present the main lines of investigation in the current debate on emotions and explain the
arguments in favour and against each of them in order to build up my own position on the one
hand, and, present the historical developments previous to the analytical theories, showing that
the history of philosophy has always had an interest in emotions as a topic on the other hand.
