I forget who said it, but it was someone famous, and i know it to be true: "a loving heart is the truest wisdom"
The head is human, but the heart is so much more than that....
I wish more people could realize this.

We do much better if we do not split our self into parts. Feelings can not be understood outside their necessity, purpose. If they are not understood as a necessity or relation to the survival for the life, then the total self is incomprehensible, but, we have not the need to comprehend the meaning in them for our notion until we disagree with the notion and subsisting beliefs. Are feelings just or unjust, true or false, right or wrong. When our Judgment acts upon its own action and actions of the Will, the self is not in positive relation in self reflection, an antithesis to selfishness, but wrong is wrong. Do you find your way to an answer using feelings or intellection at this point.
In the subjective mode the 'heart' reacts to the contents in the head, in the objective mode the 'head' observes the 'heart' as its self. Does the 'heart' understand the contents in the 'head' as objectively factual and true to external relation.
The Will is positive, the Judgment is negative.

That philosophy made clear that the head is the place of the mind and heart is the source of conscience
It can not be said that one is better than the other as they are complementary to form human life. mind seeks to ideals of ideas and develop theories and methods of their application and the conscience play the supervisor and the observer role
Which means that the mind can be used abilities in both directions, good or bad conscience is like a warning you that you are do a bad thing or you are think on something bad it said You must backtracking on that.
thanks yahoo

Actually, philosophy seeks to leave the "heart" out of the matter and rely instead on pure logic.
Emotions, feelings, intuition, etc...all the realm of the heart are canceled out in the pursuit of wisdom and truth. By rationalization and other means philosophers seek to understand the world around them and find the "universal truth" which should govern all men.
At least, that's how it was explained to me.....

The two work together and a problem in one will cause unbalance in the other. If your heart has become broken, jaded, or lost from your true self, your mind will create a powerful and destructive illusion that you will live in. But if your mind is troubled it will weigh heavily on your heart. It's a vicious cycle that you must know when to break. Trust your heart and use your mind.

The EM field generated by the heart is how we link with others and affect our experience of reality. Our brain also responds to it electrochemically in a feedback loop. The thinking brain is the only way to stabilize the field the heart is generating, which makes meditation and contemplation so important to transforming reality - so the brain/conscious awareness of the thought system is the essential key in the process.

It really depends on the situation. Me head is good for making just decisions, but my heart tempers the justice with mercy.
I think Descarte said "the heart has its reasons which reason knows not of" I like that one!

Well, since you ask this in a philosophical sense... neither is greater than the other. The great error of modern society is in trying to define man either as vitality (heart, as in naturalism or romanticism) or as reason (head, as in idealism or rationalism) and not comprehending that man is MORE than both:
'The modern mind interprets man as either essentially reason, without being able to do justice to his non-rational vitalities, or as essentially vitality without appreciating the extent of his rational freedom. Its metaphysics fail to comprehend the unity of mind and nature, of freedom and necessity, in the actual life of man... It lacks an anchor or norm for the free individual who transcends both the limitations of nature and the various social concretions of history. Its inability to estimate the evil in man realistically is partly due to the failure of modern culture to see man in his full stature of self-transcendence. The naturalist sees human freedom as little more than the freedom of homo faber and fails to appreciate to what degree the human spirit breaks and remakes the harmonies and unities of nature. The idealist, identifying freedom with reason and failing to appreciate that freedom rises above reason, imagines that the freedom of man is secure, in the mind's impetus toward coherence and synthesis. Neither naturalism nor idealism can understand that man is free enough to violate both the necessities of nature and the logical systems of reason.'
- Reinhold Niebuhr, The Nature of Man pp 124-125
Peace to you.

True wisdom begins with the heart, this is where upper and lower meet. The heart can then enliven the body with the spirit or enliven the spirit with the body.
