John Stuart Mill Opinion Strongly Rooted Feelings Face Mask
British philosopher and civil servant, John Stuart Mill was an influential contributor to social theory, political theory, and political economy. Have you been exposed to arguments that appear to you to be strong rooted in feelings and not rooted in common sense or logic? If so, you'll enjoy John Stuart Mill's words of wisdom in the following quote: "So long as an opinion is strongly rooted in the feelings, it gains rather than loses in stability by having a preponderating weight of argument against it. For if it were accepted as a result of argument, the refutation of the argument might shake the solidity of the conviction; but when it rests solely on feeling, the worse it fares in argumentative contest, the more persuaded its adherents are that their feeling must have some deeper ground, which the arguments do not reach; and while the feeling remains, it is always throwing up fresh intrenchments of argument to repair any breach made in the old."
