<div>I'm seeing a lot of talk of rationality and morality on these boards, but am I the only one here seeing an unaddressed normative framework involved here? For instance, aside from the apparent assumption that rationality and emotionalism are separate things, given the apparent claim that a well-balanced individual is the proper balance between these two allegedly separate things, who says what the balance is or even if there *is* a proper balance? At least, nature doesn't. I think when we make such claims we ought to make our normative framework, and our values, evident and not pretend they come from anywhere else other than our own judgments and evaluations. Perfection, too, isn't a property in nature but a human judgment.
