| 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.

David Hume on Reason - Dictionary of Arguments
I 7 Mind/Hume: the purpose is to make passion socially acceptable. I 24 It is always about the probability calculus and rules. I 117 Mind/reason/Hume: the mind reflects the past on the principle of experience. Imagination: imagination reflects the future according to the principle of habit. Belief: belief is the link between these two dimensions of the spirit. Time: time transforms itself when the subject constitutes itself in the mind. >Mind/Hume. I 21 Reason/Hume: reason does not determine the action - affects determine action! I 25 Treatise/Hume: it is not contrary to reason to want the downfall of the world in order to prevent a crack in one's own finger. I 26 Reason/Hume: reason is applied to a world that had previously been there. ((s) So reason does not create the world because reason, practice and morality are indifferent - not because of the circumstances). I 40 Reason/Hume: reason is sedated affection; it makes us judge the improper components in our affections. True duality exists not between affect (nature) and reason (the artificial), but between the overall context of nature and the spirit that affects this relationship. Association: must not be sedated. >Association/Hume. --- Stegmüller IV 283 Reason/morality/ethics/Hume/Stegmüller: reason can never be the motive for or against an action. Passions and preferences are logically independent of conclusions. However, there are practical and reasonable preferences. Mackie: dispassion also does not allow a clear view of things. >Morals/Hume._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
