However I could also imagine a more abstract definition that could help you by providing criteria for investigating whether or not a robot or other machine exhibits or might in the future exhibit emotion. One could even investigate whether a community the bees in a hive the people of a country might have emotion. EDISON One of the dangers in defining terms such as emotion is to bring the focus of the work on linguistic issues. There is certainly nothing wrong with doing so but I don t think this will lead anywhere useful RUSSELL There s nothing particularly linguistic in saying what you mean by drive motivation and emotion. Rather it sets the standard for intellectual clarity. If one cannot articulate what one means why write at all However I do understand and may Whitehead forgive me that we cannot ask for definitions in predicate logic. Nonetheless I think to give at least an informal sense of what territory comes under each term is necessary and useful. EDISON Even if we did have definitions for motivation and emotion I think history has shown that there couldn t be a consensus so I assume that s not what you would be looking for. At best we could have working definitions that the engineer can use to get on with his work rather than definitions that constrain the field of research. Still I am worried about the problem of the subjectivity of the definitions. What I call fear being electrocuted by an alternating current is different from what you call fear being faced with a paradox such as defining a set of all sets that are not members of themselves . We could compare definitions I will agree with some of the definition of A disagree with part of B and so on. But this will certainly weaken the definition and could confuse everyone RUSSELL I think researchers will be far more confused if they assume that they are talking .
