Rationalism vs Emotion

Summary

The tension between rationalism and emotion reflects two fundamental aspects of human decision-making. Rationalism emphasizes logic, structure, and predictability, while emotion drives empathy, intuition, and personal connections. This reflection examines how these forces interact, shaping human behavior and societal structures, and considers how AI systems—rooted in rationality—can better account for the emotional dimensions of human life.
