any good philosophical writers/books/essays that deal with the place of emotions or sex as values?
i used to believe logic was superior to anything else but now i sadly have strong evidence that ignoring feelings make you less happy and can cause your uncle to make a suicide attempt.

There is Freud's prodigal disciple who thinks lack of orgasm is the cause of every fault of human history.
You might call him unreasonable, but then why is freud not unreasonable?

>used to think this imposed system of thought was better than ignoring my screaming insides but now I’m beginning to realize that I’ve lost my hearing, books for this terror
do you want to get in touch with your inner demons and process them or are you looking for way to ignore them?
Wow you sound like a bitch. What did you think was going to happen when you looked at this shitty world without regard for your own personal satisfaction and desires?
How about you nut up and stop trying to run away from the truth because you're scared faggot.
>but now i sadly have strong evidence that ignoring feelings make you less happy and can cause your uncle to make a suicide attempt.
well with this mind set you won't gian anything if trying to understand emotions as anything more than you already would.
The only reason to turn to "emotions" is for a belief in aesthetics being a truer form of epistemology than any sense-relying epistemology ever could achieve; even if an aesthetics-epsiteme would not follow forms of logic it is quite conceivable that beauty, love, awe are truer realisations of things themselves (as they are) than you ever could come to understnad through your senses or reason.
Modern ethics (mostly americans and msotly women ofc) has tried to introduce concepts such as love, as in "really looking" in combination with Kant's "Achtung für X" idea, into a superior system of ethics (perhaps out of reasons like you said, the previous concepts still made people sad).
Fuck Hume u cheap faggots read Anthony Kenny or any philosopher after him he had a lot of logical fallacies
Honestly Ernst Junger talked about nature of war in a glorifying manner on psyche. It's similar area
Just have sex (with your uncle).

Houellebecq (when you ignore the obsession with his junk) does a decent job in Platform, Possibility of Island.
I would say Kerouac, to a certain degree, has this. Since he grew up in a more conservative surrounding his idea goes in the direction of sex as freedom and emancipation, especially in the novel "Dharma Bums", influenced by eastern thought of course.
Joseph Heller's "Something Happened" goes more in the direction of sex as mechanism of control. Don't ask me how I got that out of the book, but it's been hunting me ever since. "Then We Came to the End" by Joshua Ferris might be similar but I haven't read it.
Some of Charles Bowden's writing is about violence and desire, for example, the article "Torch Song."
Isaiah Berlin's writing about the counter-enlightenment.
Isn't this the whole point of Sturm und Drang?
The West has unfortunately not yet awakened to the fact
that our appeal to idealism and reason and other desirable
virtues, delivered with so much enthusiasm, is mere sound
and fury. It is a puff of wind swept away in the storm of
religious faith, however twisted this faith may appear to us.
We are faced, not with a situation that can be overcome by
rational or moral arguments, but with an unleashing of emo-
tional forces and ideas engendered by the spirit of the times,
and these, as we know from experience, are not much influ-
enced by rational reflection and still less by moral exhort-
ation.
