ABSTRACT
The contributions of Nico Frijda to the study of emotions are so broad and they cover so many aspects that there is little to add. After having looked at the writings of Frijda on the subject, one is convinced that all the important things have already been said by him. It is therefore both a great honor to be associated with this event that honors his work and at the same time a challenge. For on this occasion one needs to say things that at least approach in depth of insight those things that he has discovered, conceptualized, clarified, and integrated. One is proud and humbled at the same time.
