It is probably not everyone’s idea of a nice holiday, but I have been re-reading Gagné’s journal articles and other papers with additional interest in preparation for his return to Australia... (see the NSWAGTC December eNewsletter about the event).

Due to philosophical traditions dating to antiquity, Western societies see emotion and the intellect as separate, even opposing traits:
The pre-romantics thought the emotions primitive and bad, expecting them to be constrained by the intellect. The romantics, admiring emotions, especially strong ones, thought them good, applauded the behaviour they inspire and thought the demands of rationality an unwarranted imposition.
This dichotomy... persists down to the present day... through distinct tendencies in philosophy of which the pre-romantic tendency comes down to modern analytic philosophy and the romantic to existentialism (Jones 2006 online).

Nothing contributes so much to tranquilizing the mind as a steady
purpose — a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual
eye.
