'Let us suppose for a moment that the harder virtues could really be theoretically justified with no appeal to objective value. It still remains true that no justification of virtue will enable a man to be virtuous. [...] The crudest sentimentalism - these are the indispensable liaison officers between cerebral man and visceral man. It may even be said that it is by this middle element that man is man: for by his intellect he is mere spirit and by his appetite mere animal.'As always, the tension is difficult: I want to be learn more about yk, but I do not want to write vitriolic posts or merely peripheral responses. Anyone could do that. I want myself to comment, to disagree, to offer alternative ideas, but I guess that is very difficult considering my aims to juxtapose different opinions with people as being one of the foci, introspection being the other. I know that what I write about often puts me in disfavor with many; however, I decided on this route primarily because I want to reflect upon myself.
