by Mary Warnock, Fellow of St. Hugh's College, Oxford
Mrs. Warnock analyses and criticises the doctrine of Jean-Paul Sartre that emotion may be called the sudden fall of consciousness into magic, and his further belief that this lapse into magic is purposeful. Thus, according to Sartre, emotion is a voluntary method of evading choice and abandoning responsibility.
