In matters of the mind, the opposition between what is mind-made or inside and natural or outside the mind is bound to misfire. Lindquist et al. build their analysis on a strong contrast between naturalism, which they reject, and psychologism, which they endorse. We challenge this opposition and indicate how adopting psychologism to combat a naturalistic view of emotional mind/brain areas is self-defeating. We briefly develop the alternative view of emotions as mental organs.
在心性问题上，心造的或内在的与自然的或外在的之间的对立必然会失效。林奎斯特等人的分析建立在对他们所拒绝的自然主义和他们所支持的心理主义之间的强烈对比之上。我们挑战这种对立，并指出采用心理主义来对抗情感心智/大脑区域的自然主义观点是自相矛盾的。我们简要地发展了将情感视为心理器官的替代观点。
