Macmurray, Feeling and Reason: The Importance of Emotion in Public and Private Life

Can social media become (or be encouraged to become) more reasonably emotional?

Click here for abstracts of papers to be presented.

“The education of the emotions … consists in the cultivation of a direct sensitiveness to the reality of the world around us. The reason why our emotional life is so underdeveloped, is that we habitually suppress a great deal of our sensitiveness and train our children from their earliest years to suppress much of their own. … We are afraid of what would be revealed to us if we did not” (Reason and Emotion 1935, p 24).

“In the field of personal relations knowledge depends upon emotion, and upon mutual emotion; people must care for one another before they can know one another” (Search For a Faith, BBC radio broadcast #6 ‘Religion and Personal Relationship’ 10th May 1945).
