Evaluations are not disguised emotions; instead, emotion is a type of evaluation

Full Idea:
The emotivist gets things backwards: evaluations are not disguised emotions; instead, emotions are types of evaluation.

A reaction:
A nice comment, though a bit optimistic. It is certainly a valuable corrective to emotivist to pin down the cognitive and evaluative aspects of emotion, rather than regarding them as 'raw' feelings.
