Ortony and Turner (1990) asked "What's Basic About Basic Emotions," and they concluded "very little." They proceeded to advocate a "componential" or "mosaic" view of how emotional systems should be analyzed. Their thesis was flawed by their failure to consider the available neurobehavioral data. Genetically dictated brain systems that mediate affective-emotional processes do exist, even though there are bound to be semantic ambiguities in how we speak about these systems. This commentary summarizes key lines of evidence for coherently operating emotional systems in the brain and advocates the position that the issue of basic emotions can no longer be credibly discussed without adequate consideration of the relevant brain research in the area. The type of conceptual, logical analysis pursued by Ortony and Turner, in the absence of a thorough analysis of the available neurological data, is not an adequate basis for resolving what is basic about basic emotions.
奥托尼和特纳（1990年）提出了“基本情绪的基本之处是什么”这一问题，他们的结论是“几乎没有”。他们进而主张一种关于情感系统应如何分析的“成分性”或“镶嵌性”观点。他们的论点存在缺陷，因为他们没有考虑现有的神经行为学数据。介导情感 - 情绪过程的由基因决定的脑系统确实存在，尽管在我们谈论这些系统时必然会存在语义上的模糊性。本评论总结了大脑中协同运作的情绪系统的关键证据线索，并主张这样一种观点，即如果不充分考虑该领域相关的大脑研究，就无法再可信地讨论基本情绪问题。在没有对现有神经学数据进行透彻分析的情况下，奥托尼和特纳所进行的那种概念性、逻辑性分析，并不是解决基本情绪的基本之处的充分依据。
