On the attitudes of religious movements towards ideas
Hello Rabbi, my name is Anonymous, I am currently a soldier and I would be happy. I am reading "Truth and Unstable" and a few questions have come to my mind.
1) What is the rationalist school's attitude towards emotions? Do they exist? And if so, are they worthy of use or, alternatively, of being repressed and suppressed to allow the mind to act alone?
2) The same question regarding empiricism and positivism

I don't think questions like the relationship of one stream to another advance us anywhere. It's not at all worthwhile to talk in streams and generalizations, but to discuss the things themselves.
Emotions certainly exist. Who disputes this? There may be disputes as to whether they occur within a "soul" or something other than matter, or whether they are properties that emerge from the material whole (I have dealt with this in my books on the science of freedom).
There is no point in suppressing them, if only because they are simply there. Suppression is ignoring reality. It is the mind that makes decisions, and it should take them into account as a factor in the decisions it makes. Of course, one must ensure that the mind makes the decision, but to the same extent, one must take into account emotions.
See a bit about this in my last column on the website .
That's what it seems to me, and as I said, it doesn't really matter to me what so-and-so or anonymous person thinks about it, and certainly not so-and-so or anonymous movement.
