Does anger impede political progress or is it essential for change? Does love make us biased or is it the foundation of ethical thinking?

Reason is often contrasted with emotion, but what if emotion is essential for understanding traditional philosophical ideas? And how did we end up thinking that reason could ever do without emotion?
