INFJ-T…“Advocate”. I don’t often get into the philosophical discussions, but once in awhile I find a topic here that I want to chime in on.

I got ESTP Entrepreneur…
I don’t know why though.
Maybe cause a lot of my answers weren’t strongly agree or strongly disagree.
God bless,

Can someone explain to be the difference between thinking and feeling?
As far as I’m aware, thinkers are said to judge and act on logic, while feelers are said to judge and act on either sentiment or values.
If what I said above is true, than I reject the binary: logic is based in principles, on values: logic doesn’t operate on its own. And if someone makes decisions on sentiment, they are basically following concupiscence, which is a fault and often even leads to sin.
Furthermore, when I read discriptions of thinking and feeling, there often seems to be an implicit assumption of moral relativism hidden in the background.
Basically, I’m wondering how we can understand MTBI in a Thomist framework, and see thinking vs. feeling as contradicting St. Thomas’s understanding of intellect, reason/calculation, and emotion, especially how they relate between themselves and with the will.
I test as an INFJ mostly, but usually only give myself as an INxJ, because, for the reasons above, I’m skeptical of the thinking vs. feeling dichotomy.
Christi pax,
Lucretius

There is no such thing as a dichotomy here. It’s a spectrum.Can someone explain to be the difference between thinking and feeling?

I don’t see what the spectrum is then. What is thinking? What is feeling?There is no such thing as a dichotomy here. It’s a spectrum.

You (hypothetical “you”) are* more* of one than the other. But it’s not either or. Which is what a dichotomy is.I don’t see what the spectrum is then. What is thinking? What is feeling?

But you should disabuse yourself of the idea that this is creating some sort of dichotomy.

Yes, rather than thinking of it as you are locked in to this one mode of thinking, either T or F, think of it as tendencies. Its not that you do not do both. It’s just that you tend to do one more. Similarly N and S. N’s can be classified as more abstract thinkers. S’s are more concrete thinkers. But, both can do either. Of course some are a lot more one way than the other. And if you do something a lot you tend to be better at it than something you do occasionally. Also, with I and E, no one is a pure I or E.Ok.

I understand. However, my point is that everyone should be thinking, and nobody ought to make descions on pure feelings. Furthermore, one can make the same discussion regarding both!Yes, rather than thinking of it as you are locked in to this one mode of thinking, either T or F, think of it as tendencies.

I’m not exactly understanding what Jung means by thinking and feeling though. I might say that instead of the thinking spectrum being opposed by the feeling spectrum, the thinking spectrum should be independent of the feeling spectrum. In other words, I’m proposing that Jung might be possibly in contradiction to Thomist psychology and moral philosophy.
