Abstract
A comparative analysis suggested that two indigenous theories of aesthetic emotions, the Indian rasa and the Chinese notion of savoring, share in common the two defining characteristics of emotion refinement—detachment and self-reflexivity ( Frijda & Sundararajan, 2007 ), but that these two aesthetic traditions differ in ways that correspond to the ontological/epistemological divide between the ancient Greeks (and other Indo-European languages) and the Chinese as predicted by Nisbett (2003) . Implications of this investigation for theory and research on emotions are discussed.
