| 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.

Marsilius of Padua on Reason - Dictionary of Arguments
Höffe I 182 Reason/Marsilius/MarsiliusVsDante/Höffe: Unlike Dante, Marsilius is sceptical about a global order of rule. Of course, he does not deal with the legal and political arguments of the monarchy, but rather cites the epistemological reason that reason is not capable of general knowledge. HöffeVsMarsilius: The author does not see that this reason can also be directed against Marsilius, namely that it can undermine the epistemological character of his plea for peace. But this alternative can hardly be denied: Either reason is able to recognize universally valid arguments for the necessity of a peace order among human beings, in which case a worldwide rule cannot be doubted for epistemological reasons alone. Or one is convinced of the epistemological scepticism, then Marsilius' peace order cannot be conclusively justified either. Cf. >Governance/Marsilius, >State/Marsilius, >Community/Marsilius._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
