[lbo-talk] Action and Feeling

[Albert Sonntag]

But we cannot know with any certainty the reasons for our feelings.  
Isn't reason something that pertains only to, well, . . . Reason? Action 
is determined by both reason and feeling, but I think we can only 
account, - explain and understand -, our reasoning behind the action.  
Not our feelings.  Didn't Kant resolve this matter?  His three Critiques 
separate what we can know, what we ought to do and what we can hope for 
into three separate epistemological compartments. The body is only known 
as phenomenon.

But please correct me if I'm wrong.
