abstract: One of the objectives of Artificial Intelligence has been the modelling of "human" characteristics, such as emotions,
behaviour, conscience, etc. But in such characteristics we might find certain degree of contradiction. Previous work on
modelling emotions and its problems are reviewed. A model for emotions is proposed using multidimensional logic,
which handles the degree of contradiction that emotions might have. The model is oriented to simulate emotions in
artificial societies. The proposed solution is also generalized for actions which might overcome contradiction
(conflictive goals in agents, for example.).
