The philosopher argues that, contrary to others in his field, emotion is not nonrational. It only seems that way because language cannot convey emotion in its entirety. The words we use to describe certain feelings, such as joy, calm, etc., are very general. For example, there is language to describe how one feeling of βjoyβ differs from someone elseβs experience of the same emotion.
It is an example that the argument uses to support a claim (that the words we use to describe certain emotions are general) that supports the main conclusion.
