The Reality of Feeling. Reason and Emotion
Description
From the exhilaration of love to the depths of nihilistic despair, we think emotion clouds our access to the cold hard stuff of reality. Yet Einstein claimed intuition was a sacred gift and the rational mind only its servant. Are feelings a truer guide to reality than reason? The Panel Author of The Roots of Reason David Papineau, Cambridge sociologist Véronique Mottier and American philosopher of mind Berit Brogaard interrogate the intellect and the instinct.
