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.

Herbert Marcuse on Reason - Dictionary of Arguments
Habermas IV 560 Reason/Marcuse/Habermas: Marcuse: "Reason is the basic category of philosophical thought, the only one that keeps it connected to the fate of mankind."(1) "Reason, spirit, morality, cognition, bliss are not only categories of bourgeois philosophy, but matters of humanity. As such, they must be preserved, even won anew. If Critical Theory deals with the philosophical teachings in which one was still allowed to speak of the human, it first deals with the concealment and misinterpretations among which the human was spoken of in the bourgeois period".(2) >Critical Theory, >Philosophy, >Ideology. 1.
