RE:
Whats another word for human emotion?
I need to wright a paper for my English class and wanted to do it on the conflict between human logic and human emotions. But emotions isnt the right word, i cant think of a word that encompasses human emotion, spirtuallity, and all that kind of stuff. Any Suggestions?

Another possibility is the word ‘spirit’ which is sometimes used (in classical writing by which I mean up to and including the modern period) to mean ‘that aspect of man which ennobles him’. This is not the same as ‘soul’. It is a positive term, though, in this sense – it does not include things like terror.

good luck with what you write!

Pathos- emotions, feelings, etc.

Logos- logic, reasoning, etc.

Ethos- values, beliefs, etc.

Also, an all-encompassing noun for the concept would be the soul.

Feeling, conscience, self… ?

sentiment?

conscience?

or consciousness – that probably includes logic
