Rather, the author argues, reason appraises the cultural appropriateness of passion, thus directing our attitudinal behaviour. He refutes those theories of value which correspond philosophically to societies described by Jean-Jacques Rousseau: societies of "honour without virtue, reason without wisdom, pleasure without happiness." His argument, which takes into account traditional philosophic positions, is divided into five parts: Attitudes, Evaluation, Characterization, Culture, Morality.ValuesReasonEmotionsEthicsValues.Reason.Emotions.Ethics.121/.8Simpson Evan1940-1230748MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910154973103321Reason over passion2857492UNINA
