It is seen to be as efficacious as any other method and is sometimes said to be stronger than the others, since it is its own fruition, while other methods are means to some other ends.” Bhagavad Gita

Emotions play a powerful role in shaping thoughts, influencing behaviour, and steering the pursuit of knowledge. While emotions may be a key to self-understanding and to understanding the world, the extent to which they contribute to both can be explored through a discussion of questions like those that follow, probing the nature, value, and limits of emotion as a way of knowing. **TOK QUESTIONS ON EMOTION** NATURE OF EMOTION EMOTION AND KNOWLEDGE LINKING QUESTIONS ABOUT EMOTION
