Heart vs. head …

… Edward Feser: Spare not the Rod. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)


It is ironic … that in his defense Dreher cites, of all books, Richard Weaver’s Ideas Have Consequences. Note that Weaver’s title is not Prevailing Cultural Sensibilities Have Consequences, or The Will to Believe Has Consequences, or Leaps of Faith Have Consequences. His remarks about the will (quoted by Dreher) notwithstanding, Weaver is appealing to our intellects, to our heads rather than merely to our hearts.
