In a June 23, 2011 essay for  The New Republic, the American journalist Leon Wieseltier writes that the ability to reason has a long history of being hounded by ‘the hegemony of passions.’ According to Wieseltier, the general perception is that reason ever since it became one of the primary pillars of the ‘Age of Enlightenment’   has been the dominant human faculty from the 19th century onwards. But to Wieseltier, reason has come under attack over and over again by those who find it to be cold, devoid of emotion and therefore amoral.
