samr Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Daniel Burnham : Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men\'s blood and probably themselves will not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will never die, but long after we are gone will be a living thing, asserting itself with ever-growing insistency. Remember that our sons and grandsons are going to do things that would stagger us. Let your watchword be order and your beacon beauty. Think big.-- I am looking for a source of knowledge to learn from about the differences between the attitude described above, and new-age emotionalism. Between the rational-minded magic, and the emotional-minded magic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samr Posted August 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 I do not have a clear concept. But it is obvious to me that new age texts are emotional. I do not have a good grasp of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you considered that "[r]ationality," according to Ayn Rand, is "the recognition and acceptance of reason as one's only source of knowledge?"
