ABSTRACT

Any inquiry must have a motive, or it could not be carried out at all, and all motives belong to our emotional life … The only way to approach the subject [of reason and emotion] with any hope of success is to grasp from the beginning its relation to the broad and general issues of our social life as a whole … Whether we like it or not, we are all enmeshed in that network of relations that bind us together to make up human society.
