redefining reason
REDEFINING "REASON"
If reason and rationality are as easily reconcilable, and as compatible, with science and religion, and as they are with sexism and racism, in the prevailing Western intellectual traditions and societies that currently dominate humanity, as they seem to have been historically, then, newer and truer definitions of reason and rationality are clearly warranted.
How, in other words, did the divine gifts of reason and rationality become so suborned, and so cleverly transmogrified as to become the subordinates indeed the confederates of the demons of deceit, greed, evil and destruction ?
