Or how a philosopher could be logical but also passionate in persuading you to obey \\\'moral imperatives\\\'?

But you will also understand why, when we don\\\'t meet these standards, it is not always a bad thing. The answers are rooted in the way the human brain has been wired over evolutionary time to make us kinder and more generous than economists think we ought to be, and more resistant to change and persuasion than scientists and scholars think we ought to be.
