Hi Platt Well I think a rigid a contrast between emotions and reason is probably rather SOMist. I think when new levels emerge they place older SQ in a new context and/or bend it into a new shape/role. Do we not have an emotional attachment to the good that evolves as we come to experience and recognise new goods. Do we not develop emotional attachments to the civilising benefits of society?
