Emotions are commonly thought to be beyond rational analysis. In this paper, we develop the position that emotions can be the
objects
of argumentation and used as terms in
emotional argumentation schemes
. Thus, we can argue about whether or not, according to normative standards and available evidence, it is plausible that an individual had a particular emotion. This is particularly salient in legal cases, where decisions can depend on explicit arguments about emotional states.
