Abstract
In this article, I reply to the charge, made in Analysis by Anthony Hatzimoysis, that my criticism (published elsewhere) of Sartre's Sketch for a Theory of the Emotions is unwarranted. I argued that Sartre offers two lines of reasoning about emotional experience that are in clear conflict with each other. Hatzimoysis counters that we can and should read Sartre's text in a way that avoids attributing inconsistency to Sartre. In response, I argue that Hatzimoysis' suggestion about how one might read the text does not in fact remove the central inconsistency. Pace Hatzimoysis, the inconsistency that I identified remains.
