Kind of untrendy opinion of mine: broad impressionistic comparative philosophy makes me think there’s something to a kind of “affect - reason” split after all. Not in every form (I still agree with this: https://aquarusa.wordpress.com/2017/07/03/incongruent-dichotomies-logical-vs-emotional/ …) but the following sorts of things impress me...
Also think of the Confucian - Daoist split in earlier China, or the much discussed Romantic reaction to Enlightenment, or even, being real, some elements of the analytic-continental split in recent history of philosophy.

These are (obviously) not independent of each other, but it’s really striking how often something like this opposition between a passionate acceptance of mysterious will and a somewhat colder rationalism has some felt validity for participants in diverse intellectual cultures.
