the voice of feeling

Our philosophers hear too little of the voice of feeling; or rather, they seldom possess sufficient sensibility not to respond to every occurrence more with what they know than with what they feel; and that is worthless, it takes us not one step nearer to true philosophy. Is what man can know necessarily what he ought to know?
