explore emotions? part2 Another argument against the claim is that reason is the main driving force behind educational and academic achievement. The physical science and mathematics are pure products of logical thinking. Even in the so-called “soft” sciences, emotions play only a small part.

Exploring Emotions? part2

 

Another argument against the claim is that reason is for the main driving force behind educational and academic achievement is because of logic and critical thinking. [This is what you wrote in Chinese] The physical sciences and mathematics are just pure products creatures of such attributes logical thinking. Even in the so-called “soft” sciences, emotions play only a small part. For example, the study of history, politics, and law all require the understanding of the concepts such as fairness, equity and justice. It might be is tempting to think that such kind of understanding is can be best arrived at by tapping into our feelings. But Upon further deeper reflection it becomes is clear that the basic concepts of fairness, equity and justice derive(?) comes not from feelings, emotion or cultural biases but purely from reason and logic. After all, Emotion is subjective. , while Critical thinking and analytical reasoning are not. objective and therefore serve to fortify communication, comprehension, consensus and peaceful compromise. As I had argued before,  excessiveness in anything is never good.  Too much emphasis, they come souless; devoid of any humanity as in we can see in many laws. [This extra sentence is to show that you are not bias too and to lead you to a simpler concluding line.]

In sum, emotions and feelings increase the capacity to be more human and cultivate the appreciation of beauty. Thus, the claim is correct in this respect. However, when it comes to the undue focus on emotions and scientific subjects I find this statement to be an unfair generalization. In the final analysis, while the importance of the exploration of emotions should not be neglected , reason and critical thinking should always hold the most central place in education. [Too pedantic]


As such we need to balance our emotion and our cold logic.  This is the Principle of Moderation.

另一点,理智是教育和学业成就的主要动力。物理和数学是纯粹的逻辑思维产物。即使在所谓的软科学中,情感也只有很小的作用。比如,历史政治和法律都要求对公正等概念的理解。我们可能觉得这种开发感情能帮助理解这些。但深入思考我们发现这些概念来源于理智和逻辑而非感情。毕竟感情是主观的,而辩证思维和分析推理是客观的,从而能加强沟通,理解,共识。
