Theory of Knowledge: Evaluate the ways in which emotion might enhance and/or undermine reasoning as a way of knowing

Most of us would answer the question of from where you make your decisions with my head or brain. Not with the heart, or how they feel about the situation. What many of us do not consider is the fact that our emotions do play a big role within our thinking. Even if we do not realise it, emotion influences our knowledge. The definition of emotion is: a strong and instinctive feeling. And should be …

… a song. It kind of all depends on oneself, how self-conscience we are, if we have our own opinion, and of course how and where we get our knowledge from. With Hitler and the Germans, it was not only the emotions but also authority, which influenced them and actually caused the Second World War. After all I can say, that, a good combination between the different ways of knowing will bring the best knowledge.
