Excerpt from Love, Hate and Friendship That there is no reason in love - or in any other emotion - is a simple truism, and this lack of reason makes it unsuited for a philosophical analysis or ethical valuation, though it may be regarded as one of the most interesting themes in psychology. All morality is founded on the human emotions, and in the course of social progress they have become subservient to morality. But an emotion cannot as sume a moral character, and even. The sympathetic emotions cannot be moralized. From the viewpoint of advanced psychology the elemental emotions or passions are fundamental and immutable, though they may be curbed and modified, while religion and morality are but intermediate means to an end unknown.
