“At the same time, even as "feeling" is distrusted in favour of "rationality", common usage reflects the opposite recognition: that most important thinking is imbued with feeling. The word "feel", as a near synonym for "think", suggests, half subliminally, the mixture of the affective and the conceptual in what we call "thought". Feeling seems an obscure antecedent to, and therefore perhaps a necessary part of, conceptualization; as if thought has an affective component, or feeling is a form of understanding.”
