Is it is necessary to have a body to feel an emotion?

Asked by nebule (16452points) April 19th, 2010

This is linked to an essay question I’m doing but is by no means the question itself…

If you were a brain in a vat do you think you would still be able to experience an emotion such as anger, fear, joy or shame?

Is having a physical biological body attached to a brain essential for you to experience emotions do you think?
