| | Reason - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Reason is a term used in philosophy and other human sciences to refer to the higher cognitive faculties of the human mind. | | | The faculty or capacity of the human mind by which it is distinguished from the intelligence of the inferior animals; the higher as distinguished from the lower cognitive faculties, sense, imagination, and memory, and in contrast to the feelings and desires. | | | The concept of reason as a type of thought that is "especially human" has been somewhat blurred, since animals (and computers -- see artificial intelligence) are capable of some forms of logical operations. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Reason |
| | Besides using reason (Vernunft) as distinguished from the faculties of conception (Verstand) and Judgment (Urteilskraft), Kant employed the word in a transcendental sense as the function of subsuming under the unity of the ideas the concepts and rules of the understanding. | | | Catholic philosophy attributes to animals a faculty (vis æstimativa) whose function, analogous to that of reason, might, for want of a better name, be called "estimation". | | | Yet since Kant, the word reason has been used to shelter a bewildering chaos of notions. |

| | Objectivism and Thomas Jefferson: Reason-1 |
| | Reason is basically a boot-strap operation: by a kind of trial and error, it determines for itself how close it is to an approximation of reality, and its determinations never have the finality we might expect from something we consider absolute. | | | If we say that reason is absolute and that he who reaches erroneous conclusions is not using reason, then we have redefined reason in terms of its results instead of as a process of mind. | | | And that error can only be sifted out when reason is tested, not against itself, but against the reason of others in the unrestrained free market-place of ideas. |

| | Faith and Reason [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] |
| | Yet, from reason itself we know that every ordered pattern of nature has two factors that concur in its full development: one on the basis of its own operation; the other, on the basis of the operation of a higher nature. | | | This authenticity is equivalent to faith understood as "an objective uncertainty held fast in an appropriation-process of the most passionate inwardness." The coexistence of this "objective uncertainty" with "passionate inwardness" is strikingly paradoxical. | | | For Locke, reason justifies beliefs, and assigns them varying degrees of probability based on the power of the evidence. |

| | Medieval Theories of Practical Reason |
| | In its strictest sense the term ‘practical reason’ (ratio practica) refers specifically to a type of reasoning, which is analogous to the deductions of speculative or theoretical science. | | | Since practical reason mimics the deductive process of theoretical reasoning, the term, ‘ratio practica’, primarily refers to a type of human knowledge. | | | In moral reasoning the origin of the principles of actions not only reveals the understanding of the nature of goodness, but directs also all subsequent analysis as well. |

| | However, in The Phenomenology, Hegel devoted the section known as the “Master-Slave Dialectic” to outlining the stage in the development of subjectivity following the unmediated contact between two isolated subjects, in which each demands recognition from the other, but what results is not mutual recognition, but the enslavement of one subject by the other. | | | The concept of recognition did not figure largely for a century after Hegel’s death, during which the dominant paradigm of politics was class struggle. | | | Philosophers commonly debate: is the knowledge reasoning creates independent of the material world, or derivative from it? |

Bush. |
