today in my TOK class we discussed about reason. what is reason and whether is it logic or rationalism. in my opinion reason is more of rationalism than logic. there are 2 types of reasoning- inductive and deductive reasoning. both are used in our daily lives but neither are certain or too informative. inductive reasoning is when one infers from performing an experiment or perceiving something. deductive reasoning is what one does after many experiments and then generalizes on that topic. but do we really do reason out in our daily lives? or do we just act according to our first impulse? i feel in reality we do not always reason out what is happening but act on our first impulse. it is after acting that we reason out what our actions were and what we should have done.
