There were names of individual emotions and these are recognisable two millennia later. Angry people are red-faced for example (I know Barrett has problems with this phenomenology, but it applies in some contexts at least). <br /><br />Thoughts and emotions were both included under the heading of "citta" which we have to understand as something like "mental activity". There is no category term for emotions as distinct from other types of mental activity. The distinction may well be Eurocentric as the texts I study are in an Indo-European language.
