Logic or Feelings

[Deleted]

What do you think should be the main motor for politics?

Logic and pragmatism?

Or

Feelings and Intuition?

Please elaborate if you dont understand the question.

Logic isn't always pragmatism, however reason should be the main drive behind any mass-applied rule or guidelines...

Relying on highly subjective feelings and intuition will just turn it into a fractally padded clusterfuck of magnanimous proportions...

[Helgrimm]

It already is the former; the reality is that politicians have different ideals and different understandings on issues, as well as different definitions of morality. So the 'next logical step' in political terms is varied, and thus causes everything we see in modern politics.

option 3: both

[Dug]

Logic of course but unfortunately we give the emotional podunks too much power in this country. Reality has a liberal bias and that scares them.

[McFuu]

Both, pure logic is flawed just as much as purely feeling (humanist) is.

Logic dictates killing 99 to save 100 makes sense. Feelings dictate potentially hurting 99 to help 1 makes sense. That's a rough example but examples to current news can be drawn for either.

[Tyrgannus]

Reason, but tempering "greater good" with "common good" which takes a bit of intuition.

In other words, ignoring one is never the right option.

or "logic and intuition" and "feelings and pragmatism"?

[Shadowferal]

If ideals have no place then "none of the above."

[Spectral]

Neither of these does any good at all without a clear statement of what the actual goals are. When two people don't agree on what the goals of politics should be, they're not going to agree on policies.

It's like picking someone for a job, you use logic for most of the decision buy you might go with your gut feeling at the end.

[Dezerte]

When I think of logic and pragmatism I think of willingness to compromise and an ability to see what is the most efficient way of doing something. When I think of feelings and intuition I think of partisanship and doing what is popular. However, the latter also includes things like empathy and I really think you need both in the end - but the former should be the "main" drive.

You depressed? OP brings up a great question. Everything should be about increasing logic.

When will you begin?

[zenkai]

Both really. For instance, logically the economically would be more efficient if we let people who are ODing on drugs die, but morally (feelings) that's wrong and we should help our fellow man not only survive but invest in money to help get them sober.

What? The poll takers agree logic is better. But parents and the education system are failing to Vulcanize the children.
