Consider the platitude, 'all people are basically (i.e. emotionally) the same'. How would we know? Observing people in a culture very different from our own, it would seem that we have to presuppose some such universality, just in order to understand them, but then we beg the very thesis in question. This essay considers one case study of other people's emotions, a study of Eskimos in Jean L. Briggs's Never in Anger. The problems surrounding the method of 'empathy' are discussed and an alternative methodology suggested for cross‐cultural observation of emotions which are not subject to these problems
