Emotion(感性)issometimesregardedas(把……认做)theopposite(相反的)ofreason(理性);
Asissuggestedbyphrasesuchas”appealto(呼吁)emotionsratherthanreason”and“don’tletyouremotionstakeover”.Emotionalreactions(反应)sometimesproduceconsequences(推论)orthoughts(想法)whichpeoplemaylaterregretordisagreewith;
butduringanemotionalstate(状态),theycouldnotcontroltheiractions.Thus,itisgenerallybelievedthatoneofthemostdistinctive(与众不同的)factsabouthumanbeingsisacontradiction(矛盾)betweenemotionandreason.
However,recentempiricalstudies(实验研究)donotsuggestthereisacleardistinction(区别)betweenreasonandemotion.Indeed,angerorfear(恐惧)canoftenbethoughtofasaninstinctive(本能的)responsetoobserved(观察)fact.Thehumanmindpossesses(拥有)manypossiblereactionstotheexternal(客观的)world.Thosereactionscanlieon(取决于)acontinuum(连续统一体),withsomeoftheminvolving(包括)theextreme(极端)ofpureintellectuallogic(纯知识分子逻辑),whichisoftencalled“cold”,andothersinvolvingtheextremesofpureemotionnotrelatedtologicalagreement,whichiscalled“theheatofpassion(激情)”.Therelationlogicandemotionmerits(有益于)carefulstudy.Passion,emotion,orfeelingcanreinforce(加强)anargument(论点),eventonebasedprimarily(主要地)onreason.Thisisespecially(尤其)trueinreligion(信仰)orideology(意识形态),whichfrequently(常常)demands(需要)anall-or-nothing(要么全有要么全无)rejection(拒绝)oracceptance(接受).Insuchareasofthought,humanbeingshavetoadopt(通过)acomprehensive(全面的)viewpartlybackedby(一部分一部分地)empiricalargumentandpartlybyfeelingandpassion.Moreover,severalresearchershavesuggestedthattypicallythereisno“pure”decision(决定)orthought(想法);
thatis,nothoughtisbased“purely””onintellectuallogicor“purely”onemotion—mostdecisionsarefoundedon(基于)amixtureofboth.
