Justification for Foundational Belief

[jonb]

Both you and Jon are missing the same point here. The question here is not regarding the role of emotions in acquiring knowledge, it is regarding their role in establishing ay foundational beliefs upon which an individual's system of knowledge may be built.

What I am saying is the categories you use to divide, box and deliver knowledge, are so tightly tied into our emotions they still have not been unpicked. I can see why many academics would wish to set up a hierarchy from, reflexes, through emotions to the intellect, but these categories are to my mind imposed, and cannot be set with distinct boundaries. If you think that is so much nonsense, these categories must be true, as so much has been built up from them, look at colour, everyone knows there are seven colours in a rainbow, it is just that everybody is wrong.
