Evaluating the Ways in Which Emotion Might Enhance and/or Undermine Reasoning as a Way of Knowledge

What is emotion? Something inside of you, how you feel, a gut feeling

you cannot controle, an insticntive feeling from the heart, something

that affects the way you learn.

Emotion affects everyone in different always and affects the way we

live. Many people are affected stronger by their emotion than others.

If we had no emotion then we would not care about anything such as,

newspaper articles. They are printed out to affect people by their

emotion. “desert wives lead lives of agony” this article title affects

us because of the emotion that we have in side and if we had no

emotion then we would not care. Another example of our emotion

affecting our life and decisions is the green house effect, many

people I the world have changed their life style such as not using

their car as much, which lets out the exhaust fumes because of the

emotion being triggered by news on the green house effect.

Reasoning is a way of good judgement of which is sometimes triggered

of by emotion. One may become emotional about something that could

affect the way ones reasoning works. Such as someone may want to by a

pair of shoes of which cost a high amount and because their emotion is

set off their reasoning is ignored because their emotion for the shoes

is much stronger the their reasoning. If they were to listen to their

reasoning, they would not buy the shoes but if their emotion is

stronger, they do buy the shoes

How does emotion and reasoning affect all of the topics of which we

have studied in negative and positive ways?

Such as maths. Maths may be affected by reasoning such as most answers

are reasonable. Most answers come out to be reasonable as you have

proof of which no sort of way of knowing can be stronger than.

Reasoning in maths is a positive way of knowing as it helps us

understand it better.
