Excerpt from The Balance of Emotion and Intellect: An Essay Introductory to the Study of Philosophy
These being my views, it is highly probable that many scientific readers (should they accord the book any notice) will consider many proposi tions, examples, and analogies as superfluous and trite; while some of the unscientific will find that certain portions require far greater exertion and ex pense of comprehensive energy than others. But I think that it is rather a disciplinary advantage when a book varies in the easiness of its style. If possible, a book is to be like life: varied and chequered, appealing to the different faculties and inclinations of man. I contest the view that style means sameness in the manner of expres sion - nay, I even believe that the desirable style is that which adapts itself to the subjects with which it deals at different moments.
This book has not grown up uniformly; but several facts have contributed to make it a whole. A part has been delivered as a lecture. In the lecture I attempted to counteract one out of the whole group of fallacies which I considered were vitiating correct thought and actions based upon thought, namely, the false opposition of Emotion and Intellect. Later on, I felt that there was need of counteracting other fallacies of the same group, namely, those with regard to the opposition of Science and Common Thought and Philosophy and the Exact Sciences. This being the origin of the book, there will necessarily be several immediate aims. But they all combine in the one ultimate aim to bring forth the feeling for philosophy, the philosophical spirit and mood, 'der philosophische Sinn,' as the Germans would call it.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complex relationship between emotion and intellect, arguing that these two forces are not fundamentally opposed but rather complementary aspects of the human mind. By examining this relationship in the context of both individual development and the history of philosophical thought, the author seeks to dismantle the widespread fallacy of seeing emotion and intellect as enemies. The book traces the evolution of human thought, beginning with the simple, instinctual reactions of childhood and moving toward the more nuanced and deliberate reasoning of adulthood. It delves into the origins of scientific thought, viewing it as a culmination of individual experience and collective knowledge, and then explores the role of philosophy in providing a framework for understanding how these different forms of knowledge relate to the human mind. The author also analyzes various branches of philosophy, including psychology, logic, ethics, aesthetics, and metaphysics, demonstrating how they each contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the human condition. The book concludes by exploring the practical implications of this balanced perspective, suggesting that individuals and societies can achieve greater harmony and effectiveness when they recognize and appreciate the vital role of both emotion and intellect in human experience. By redefining the relationship between emotion and intellect, the author offers a profound and illuminating perspective on the human mind and its potential.
