DISCUSSION: We know that objectivism focusses on “cognition” by ignoring emotion and experience.
Whatever cognition is, it isn’t emotion or experience. It sounds like cognition is logic or pure thought.
Lines 44-45 give you another clue. Cognition is referred to as “abstract discourse”.
___________
- CORRECT. If you’re not using emotion, or things you’ve seen, then logic is pretty much the only thing left to use.
- The sentence in question is talking about how to tell a legal story.
So this answer makes no sense. You don’t tell a legal story by interpreting visual cues. - The full sentence says that objectivism doesn’t use emotion and experience (lines 41-44).
- The third paragraph is talking about how people with no legal training tell their stories to the court. Judges may use cognition, but the passage wasn’t referring to them.
- Lines 44-46 talk about replacing cognition with powerful personal stories, so they’re different things.
