SUMMARY:A New Better BET
DESCRIPTION:Dan Hutto &amp\; Ian Robertson (Wollongong)Basic Emotion Theory
 \, or BET\, has dominated the affective sciences for decades (Ekman\, 1972
 \, 1992\, 1999\; Ekman and Davidson\, 1994\; Griffiths\, 2013\; Scarantino
  and Griffiths\, 2011). It has been highly influential\, driving a number 
 of empirical lines of research (e.g.\, in the context of facial expression
  detection\, neuroimaging studies and evolutionary psychology). Neverthele
 ss\, BET has been criticized by philosophers\, leading to calls for it to 
 be jettisoned entirely (Colombetti\, 2014\; Hufendiek\, 2016). This paper 
 defuses those criticisms. In addition\, it shows that we have good reason 
 to retain BET. Finally\, it reviews and puts to rest worries that BET's co
 mmitment to affect programs renders it outmoded. We propose that\, with mi
 nor adjustments\, BET can avoid such criticisms when conceived under a rad
 ically enactive account of emotions. Thus\, rather than leaving BET behind
 \, we show how its basic ideas can be revised\, refashioned and preserved.
  Hence\, we conclude\, our new BET is still a good bet.
