Can emotion be a way to truth as reason is?
#6
RE: Can emotion be a way to truth as reason is?
I like to think in terms of 'emotional logic.' At any given time we are reacting emotionally to something, whether logically or not.

For instance, say you are walking down the road and witness a terrible car wreck. No one would question you if you expressed horror over the incident in question. Because it is emotionally logical to respond to a car wreck with horror.
