Ruth Leys’s book is a thorough survey of the unmanaged forest and scrubland of emotion research: a hodgepodge of paradigmatic ideas that amounts to so much kindling. To most of this, Leys holds a match and allows us to stand in awe at the conflagration. In an ideal world, the psychologists would be watching too. Emotion research in psychological bowers is the heir to an epistemological inertia born of force of personality. Leys’s book is a genealogy of ideas, yes, but it is also, and principally, a genealogy of academic clientelism, and of men (mostly) whose convictions, assumptions, arrogance, politics, and outright scientism have permitted, imposed, and policed two generations of faulty thinking. The jig is up. Leys opens her book with the observation that emotion researchers merrily pursue their pet theories and methodologies in the pages of Emotion Review without the slightest acknowledgement that such theories have been criticized. Indeed, criticism across the current schism in the discipline of psychology – between Basic Emotions Theory (BET) and bioconstruction – seems to be managed either by pretending the schism is not there, or out of a genuine ignorance of its existence. It remains an active question how psychologists attain any kind of research coherence when they do not properly address their intractable differences. More importantly, they seem also to overlook work on emotions
