Abstract: Contemporary theories of emotion view it as related to rational\naction. This paper begins stating two ways in which a system\ncould be deemed rational, which I call the contributive and\nconstitutive way. I assess the possibility whether emotion can be\nrational in both ways, as a system capable of producing rational\naction by itself. To this end I analyze the modular view of emotion,\nespecially in a version of dual-system theory. I will argue that this\nview has at least two problems –the problem of integration and\nthe problem of rational priority– that jeopardize the possibility of\nregarding it as a self-standing system for rational behaviour
