The FrameProblem, which questions the way in which individuals determine relevance, has been considered by some philosophers as an obstacle to the progress of Cognitive Sciences. In this paper, we question such a pessimistic position by estimating the aptitude of the emotions to solve one of its main difficulties, namely, the difficulty of regression. After elucidating the above-mentioned difficulty, we will propose two major viewpoints towards its resolution: the viewpoint that considers the epistemic success of emotions in solving it and the viewpoint that, more prudently, estimates the limitations of emotions. We will argue that although the salience/relevance of emotions seems to offer a solution to the difficulty of regression, and thus to the epistemological aspect of the frame problem, this in fact is not so, since far from solving such difficulty, it is moved to others problems to be solved.
