Human Beings are Rational animals, thats is according to Philosophy. But how can we live to the fullest of our being rational? Senseless we are, we sometimes didnt recognize that we have been living to the fullest of our being rational everyday. Every now and then, we keep on arguing to ourselves and with other rational people: should I wear this or not?, should i study or not? and reasons will follow like a ghost we cant sense at all, you shoudnt do that, you should have done this. These are just few of the litany of examples that happen everyday.
Being rational is being reasonable in ones actions and thoughts. According to David Zaresky Ph.d., Northwestern University "Reasoning, tested by doubt, is argumentation. We do it, hear it, and judge it every day. We do it in our own minds, and we do it with others. What is effective reasoning? And how can it be done persuasively? These questions have been asked for thousands of years—yet some of the best thinking on reasoning and argumentation is very new and represents a break from the past."
Its nice. Isnt it?
