One thing that's always weird to me about 'knowledge that comes from the emotions rather than from reason is a radically non-Western idea' is that, like, aren't all the letters of St. Paul about how true knowledge comes from the emotions rather than from reason?
I don't think the people who say that really know what they're talking about.

Do you think this trope was born in the '60s? I definitely can't think of any 19th century examples easily

Earliest clear example I can think of is Senghor. Gonna be reasonably tight bandwidth for this, since it people have The West as a recognisable unit (as opposed to, say, Christendom) but be sufficiently out of touch with Romanticism and mystical traditions of Christianity.
