On Moral Progress: Reason and Logic or Empathy and Emotion

Is the human conscience led by the head or the heart? Is the moral progress we have enjoyed – religious freedom, the abolition of slavery, anti-war movements, civil, women’s, and gay rights – a gift of empathy and emotion, or of reason and logic? Psychologist and author Steven Pinker and philosopher and novelist Rebecca Newberger Goldstein survey the history of moral progress in human society, a history, they say, suggesting that reason and logic have had a surprisingly powerful role in shaping the human condition.

Actually for the issues mentioned I believe that a combination of
"Reason and Logic/Empathy and Emotion" worked hand and hand to accomplish said goals, legislatively. There were plenty against these legislative outcomes, as I recall, things could easily have gone south for each one. Gone south literally: a continuation of the antebellum beliefs of the south may have prevailed but if not for a strong empathetic and logical mind set in the then sitting congress and POTUS signing these laws in to effect.

Don't look for mindfulness to cure your anxiety, depression or addiction; look at it more as a new way of relating to life, a way of coming home, nurturing a healthier heart and opening up to the experience of being alive.

Ours is a culture that values multi-tasking and constant stimulation, leaving many people feeling scattered and fragmented, drained of energy, always in search of more intensity to feel alive.
