It's the old "appeal to other ways of knowing," a falling back on emotion over reason that is an all too common refrain in Christian misology.— Planet Atheism
His heterodox brother--in the eighteenth century they both usually belonged to one family--leaves it out Footnote 36: See on this subject Finlay's Medićval Greece and Trebizond_, p. 197; and also, on the other hand, p. 56 The crowded annals of human misology, as well as the more terrible chronicle of the consequences when misology has impatiently betaken itself to the cruel arm of flesh, show the decisive importance of the precise way in which a great subject of debate is put.— Critical Miscellanies (Vol. 2 of 3) Turgot

And from this circumstance there arises in many, if they are candid enough to confess it, a certain degree of misology, that is, hatred of reason, especially in the case of those who are most experienced in the use of it, because after calculating all the advantages they derive, I do not say from the invention of all the arts of common luxury, but even from the sciences (which seem to them to be after all only a luxury of the understanding), they find that they have, in fact, only brought more trouble on their shoulders, rather than gained in happiness; and they end by envying, rather than despising, the more common stamp of men who keep closer to the guidance of mere instinct and do not allow their reason much influence on their conduct.— Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysic of Morals
