উত্তরের বিবরণ
• “It is impossible
to love and be wise” এই উক্তিটি Francis Bacon-এর দর্শনকে প্রতিফলিত করে। তাঁর মতে, ভালোবাসা মানুষের বুদ্ধিমত্তাকে প্রভাবিত করে এবং যখন কেউ ভালোবাসে, তখন তিনি যুক্তি ও বুদ্ধি হারিয়ে ফেলেন। ভালোবাসা আবেগের ওপর ভিত্তি করে, যা বুদ্ধির সঙ্গে বিরোধ সৃষ্টি করে। অন্যদিকে, Rene Descartes যুক্তিবাদ ও চিন্তার পক্ষে ছিলেন, যেখানে আবেগের চেয়ে যুক্তি প্রাধান্য পায়।
Blaise Pascal ভালোবাসা ও ঈশ্বরের মধ্যে সম্পর্ক নিয়ে ভাবতেন, যেখানে আবেগ ও বিশ্বাস গুরুত্বপূর্ণ। Voltaire যুক্তিবাদী হলেও তিনি আবেগ ও বুদ্ধিমত্তার সমন্বয়কে গুরুত্ব দিতেন। তাই, Francis Bacon-এর মতবাদ ভালোবাসা ও বুদ্ধিমত্তার সংঘাতের উপর বেশি জোর দেয়।
