Re: Philosophers and Suicide

Quote:
Can a philosopher be so emotionally attached to a concept so much so that he can intelectually justify its actualization.
Someone who conjures up rationalizations for their emotions, I do not think, has a real justification. If I get angry, feel bad for being angry, and then develop some rationalization for my being angry, do I have an honest rationalization, or am I just trying to ignore the fact that I shouldn't have been angry?
