Sometimes it's just the shred of hope that maybe logical reasoning and rational thought is a possibility, in which people want. A realm where logical reasoning and rational thought can survive, is much better than a realm where concrete preordained ideals can be justified as legitimate.Logical reasoning and rational thought.
Please go out and experience life. You will find out in short order that not 5% of the human experience can be explained by logical reasoning or rational thought. Greater minds than any on this board have ended up in asylums trying to fit their existence into a logical, reasonable framework.
It's not perfect. But it's a step in the right direction.
Rationality/irrationality is not an either/or proposition. We all have some of each.
Logic and reason have helped to make great advances in the physical sciences. When it comes to searching out the human heart, they are of little use.
I suppose what brought on my post was the hubris expressed by some who insist that they will only base their decisions on logic/reason.
