Rationality: "Rationality, in a way, never claims to exhaust the totality of the real in a logical system, but it has the will to dialogue with what resists it." </p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Reason" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Reason</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Rationality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Rationality</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Rationalization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Rationalization</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/EdgarMorin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EdgarMorin</span></a> <br>1/2</p>
