| Reason: Reason in philosophy is the ability to think clearly and logically about the world around us. It is the capacity to draw inferences from evidence, to identify and solve problems, and to make informed decisions. Reason is often contrasted with emotion, intuition, and faith. In Hegel there is a distinction between Verstand (that recognizes the differences) and Vernunft (that reassembles them). See also Hegel, Idealism, Thinking, Mind._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Giambattista Vico on Reason - Dictionary of Arguments
Gadamer I 26 Reason/Knowledge/Vico/Gadamer: One finds in Vico(1) that he criticizes the Stoics because they believe in reason as regula veri, and conversely he praises the old academics who only assert the knowledge of not-knowing, and even more so the new academics because they are great in the art of argumentation (which belongs to the art of rhetoric). >Sensus communis/Vico, >Humanism/Vico. Gadamer I 26 Reason/Knowledge/Vico/Gadamer: According to Vico, what gives direction to the human will is not the abstract generality of reason, but the concrete generality that represents the commonality of a group, a people, a nation or the entire human race. The formation of this common sense is therefore of crucial importance for life. It is on this common sense of truth and rights, which is not knowledge for reasons, but which allows us to find the obvious (verisimile), that Vico bases the importance and the independent right of eloquence. >Knowledge/Vico. 1 .J. B. Vico, De nostri temporis studiorum ratione, mit Übertragung v. W. F. Otto. 1947._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
