Abstract
The paper is a contribution to how emotions can be useful for Argumentation Theory. Using the heated headscarf debate to explore the presence of emotions in argumentation, this article discusses the way in which the emotion of surprise uncovers different emotional layers in argumentation such as meta-emotions, masked emotions and existential emotions. The paper concludes that in addition to the way emotions have a role inside the line of an argument, emotions are important and relevant for argumentation theory at various levels which promise fruitful future research.
