	Reason - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Reason is a term used in philosophy and other human sciences to refer to the faculty of the human mind that creates and operates with abstract concepts.
		The concept of reason is connected to the concept of language, as reflected in the meanings of the Greek word "logos", later to be translated by Latin "ratio" and then French "raison", from which the English word derived.
		The limits within which reason may be used have been laid down differently in different churches and periods of thought: on the whole, modern religion tends to allow to reason a wide field, reserving, however, as the sphere of faith the ultimate (supernatural) truths of theology.

	Reason (program) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Reason can be used either as a complete virtual music studio, or as a collection of virtual instruments to be played live or used with other sequencing software.
		Reason has also been praised for its stability, with reports of bugs or crashes very rare -- an asset that is especially important when using the program in live performance.
		These shortcomings can all be addressed by connecting Reason via ReWire to another application such as Pro Tools or Logic Pro, allowing Reason to run alongside audio tracks from the hard disk, plugin effects, external instruments, etc. Of course, this adds expense and complication and can compromise stability, too.

	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.
		In its general sense, therefore, reason may be attributed to God, and an angel may be called rational.
		But in its narrower meaning reason is man's differentia, at once his necessity and his privilege; that by which he is "a little less than the angels", and that by which he excels the brutes.

	Critique of Pure Reason Piece @ LaunchBase.net (Launch Base) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The Critique of Pure Reason (Kritik der reinen Vernunft), first published in 1781 with a second edition in 1787, is widely regarded as the most influential and widely read work of the German philosopher Immanuel Kant and one of the most influential and important in the entire history of Western philosophy.
		Another way of thinking of reason is to say that it searches for the 'unconditioned'; Kant had shown in the Second Analogy that every empirical event has a cause, and thus each event is conditioned by something antecedent to it, which itself has its own condition, and so forth.
		Reason seeks to find an intellectual resting places which may bring the series of empirical conditions to a close, to obtain knowledge of an 'absolute totality' of conditions, thus becoming unconditioned.

	Reason
		Plato made a distinction between reason and logic, whereas for Aristotle and his followers, the terms were essentially synonymous (see Reasoning.) The debate between these two viewpoints has continued down through the ages.
		The concept of reason is connected to language, as reflected in the meanings of the Greek word "logos", later to be translated by Latin "ratio" and then French "raison", from which the English word is derived.
		The question of whether reason is driven by emotions is important for philosophers because reason is seen by us all as being the way that we come to know the truth, and we see the truth as something which exists outside of own consciousness.

	Faith and Reason [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Reason generally is understood as the principles for a methodological inquiry, whether intellectual, moral, aesthetic, or religious.
		As such, "faith cures reason, which has been wounded by sin." So, while the laws of works are for the most part prohibitions against certain sins, the laws of faith tend to be positive duties, such as the injunctions to love one's enemies and to carry one's cross daily.
		He concludes that reason and experience fail to establish divine infinity, God's moral attributes, or any specification of the ongoing relationship between the Deity and man. But rather than concluding that his stance towards religious beliefs was one of atheism or even a mere Deism, Hume argued that he was a genuine Theist.

	Glossary of Terms: Re
		Reason is often contrasted with Experience (as in the dispute between Rationalism and Empiricism) and with Intellect, which in this context refers to the aspect of cognition in which concepts remain stable and provide the basis for interpretation of experience.
		In Hegel's system, Reason is the unity of Consciousness-as-such and Self-Conciousness (and so negates itself as the Theoretical Spirit and the Practical Spirit) and becomes Objective Spirit – all the phenomena of history, politics, culture and so on – all, according to Hegel, the work of Reason.
		Modern society [i.e., for Hegel “Reason”] only results from the process in which the enslaved subject overcomes a “Stoic acceptance” of their subjugation through labour, within the society of the dominant subject, and establishes the legal rights which constitute modern society, in contrast to the hierarchical relations of subordination characteristic of traditional society.

	village voice > news > The Age of 'Reason' by Cynthia Cotts
		Unlike that first issue of Reason, which was exceedingly plain, essentially a typewritten mimeograph broadsheet, the first issues I saw, probably in 1969 or 1970 while I was an undergraduate at Columbia and helping to publish a magazine called The Abolitionist, were amazingly well-designed and edited.
		Reason was edited and designed by Lanny Friedlander, a young college dropout from Boston, who was entirely self-taught in magazine production.
		By Reason's 25th anniversary, there was not a single word set in Helvetica in the issue.

	SUMMA THEOLOGICA: Does erring reason bind? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		And they say that if reason or conscience tell us to do something which is good generically, there is no error: and in like manner if it tell us not to do something which is evil generically; since it is the same reason that prescribes what is good and forbids what is evil.
		They say, therefore, that reason or conscience when erring in matters of indifference, either by commanding or by forbidding them, binds: so that the will which is at variance with that erring reason is evil and sinful.
		But they say that when reason or conscience errs in commanding what is evil in itself, or in forbidding what is good in itself and necessary for salvation, it does not bind; wherefore in such cases the will which is at variance with erring reason or conscience is not evil.

	Three Positions on Reason andFaith
		The task of discussing the relation of reason to faith is much smaller than that, though without having worked at that task, I'm reasonably certain that we will not be in a position to deal with the issues and problems at hand effectively.
		But in spite of the fact that "everyone" knows that reason requires a supplement, I think it is also true that few people recognize that fact when they think about reason or faith and fewer still recognize its implications or the questions it raises.
