| | Reasonism vividly contrasts the driving, energetic phenomenon which [[Aristotle]] called "man's rational faculty" with (reactive) emotions, (biological) drives, and (inborn) instincts. It argues that while these three should brightly inform and enlighten human action, the ultimate guide to thought and behavior should be reason alone. This is because only pure, clean, unadulterated, uncompromised reason is sublimely powerful and utterly trustworthy in uncovering truth—unlike emotions, drives, and instincts, or reasoning corrupted by them. | | Reasonism vividly contrasts the driving, energetic phenomenon which [[Aristotle]] called "man's rational faculty" with (reactive) emotions, (biological) drives, and (inborn) instincts.

| − | Reasonism is a scientific and philosophical thought-system which has immense trust and confidence (and "belief" and "faith") in cerebration, ratiocination, cogitation, rumination, reflection, deliberation, calculation, and analysis. But it summarily rejects faith, supernaturalism, revelation, intuition, superstition, and all other forms of nonsensicalness and irrationality. This includes blind, unthinking "belief" and acontextual, fanatical "conviction," as well as fantasy and delusion. | + | Reasonism is a scientific and philosophical thought-system which has immense trust and confidence (and "belief" and "faith") in cerebration, ratiocination, cogitation, [[Rumination (psychology)|rumination]], reflection, deliberation, calculation, and analysis.

| | Reasonism is imminently empirical, common sensical, and practical. It emphatically rejects all [[Plato]]nic and [[Kant]]ian "forms" and "idealism" in which reality and reason don't touch each other. So too any other belief-system which considers fundamental and important issues without utilizing the senses, sensory input, evidence, and facts. So too any belief-systems in which the logic is insular, circular, and incestuous. | | Reasonism is imminently empirical, common sensical, and practical.
