"The
doctrine of objective value [is] the belief that certain attitudes are
really true, and others really false, to the kind of thing the universe
is and the kind of things we are. . . . Because our approvals and disapprovals
are thus recognitions of objective value or responses to an objective
order, therefore emotional states can be in harmony with reason (when
we feel liking for what ought to be approved) or out of harmony with reason (when we perceive that liking is due but cannot feel it). No
emotion is, in itself, a 
judgement: in that sense all emotions and
sentiments are alogical. But they can be reasonable or unreasonable as they conform to Reason or fail to conform." --The Abolition of Man (New York: Simon and Schuster, 1975), 31-32. (HT: Doug Groothuis)
Me: This is a great quote. A bombshell, really. So many people assume that their "feelings" tell them truths about the universe and about ethics. Not so. Anyone who absorbs the message and insights of "The Abolition of Man" will find themselves at revolutionary odds with the insanity of contemporary Western culture.
