dhw: I have tried to explain why I disagree with Greer and O'Hear. Since you accept that animals have basic emotions, and there is also an evolutionary progression from all of these other basic characteristics to our own vastly more sophisticated forms, it seems we are indeed at one. - We are. It is our interpretive differences that keep us debating. I always manage to see other interpretations in the material presented.
