Some understand emotions in such a way that they involve both the intellect and the will. Robert Roberts, a philosopher at Baylor, has developed such an understanding of emotions. Anyway, I think it would be weird if the affections were like this, but the emotions weren't. Especially if you're interested in developing a fully integrated conception of human psychology. This connects up with some of the issues you raise in your second installment, as well. “Plantinga seems to think that the “affections,” which Edwards speaks of, are something akin to emotions, when in fact, as I hope to show, the affections, for Edwards, involve both the intellect and the will.”

As you already know, Jonathan Edwards has much to teach us about the integrated personality. But then he was not the only Reformed theologian who stressed this, was he? Thanks, Paul.
