The relationship between emotions and law has been debated over many centuries. Some philosophers, Immanuel Kant for example, considered emotions as “illnesses of mind”, as destroyers of rational decision-making, counter-productive to politics and law. In the “Introduction” to Metaphysics of Morals, Kant reveals four stages of rationalization of human actions: feelings lead to inclinations, which lead to interests, which lead to a choices, which leads to actions. 1 Trying to satisfy their primal emotional needs, humans realize their interests, develop plans, establish goals, and strategize towards achieving these through rational actions.
