The Reason

Filed Under Reason |
It was Aristotle who characterized the law as “reason, free from passion.” The intent of this blog is to illustrate that, while passion cannot be allowed to overrun reason, reason cannot be free from passion, not only in law, but in religion, sociology and any other realm that is worthy of intellectual attention and effort. It is passion first that leads us to seek truth; it is reason by which we make sense of it. No experience inspires passion like the discovery of truth.
This blog will also present ideas founded in reason about which I am passionate, as well as (I hope) passionate debates about the reason in everything.
Therefore, “Come now, and let us reason together…” What greater pursuit can there be than the pursuit of truth? Like faith without works, reason without passion is dead.
