Affective epistemology is based on the idea that there is a way of knowing which transcends, specific perceptual frames. The idea is predicated on two primary elements:
1) Feelings and emotions (affective components) are relative to localized perceptual frames. They are not specific to perceptual frames. Individual affective components are specific-to-specific thought forms.
2) These components maybe categorized into two basic sub-classifications lateral and trans-lateral.
Affective components indicate the qualitative and quantitative efficacy or weighted meaning of a given perception, thought form, or way of being in the consciousness of human beings and sentient life.
There is a faith that, through affect and reason, an understanding of reality can be attained.

There definitely has to be some affect involved in gaining a legitimate understanding of reality, for two reasons. First, reducing everything to simply facts is stupid, and impossible. Second, there is no other choice... we are subjectivity machines, it's what we do.
uh, I'm pretty sure I'm not even close to smart enough to know what you're talking about guys.
i feel like i miss the orange
Even though I left a little in there for ya?!
That orange holds an important spot. We need it there. But we need it more intense. [Intense this...]
Is that burnt orange, James? Famed colour of a certain Texan Education Institution? My enemy? My enmity?
I don't much care about the orange thing and I'm too tired or to uneducated to understand the post. What I am marveling at is the fact that I have a new found addiction to the refresh button. If I don't leave the site now I'll keep hitting it untill I've read every quote.
