This text offers a critical examination of the contemporary understanding of "rationality," which is frequently misinterpreted as a form of reductionism. The author notes that in common discourse, rational behavior is often positioned in opposition to emotions, morality, religion, or aesthetics. However, this narrowed definition represents a degradation of the original meaning of the term, which instead imposed higher intellectual demands and a stricter sense of responsibility through critical discernment. True rationality should not be perceived as mere technical skill or the deliberate stripping away of context; rather, it should be understood as "reasonableness" in the broadest sense. To be reasonable means to account for wider contexts and to refuse to ignore the surrounding circumstances. The author emphasizes that rationalization should not aim to exclude feelings or traditions, but to critically discern their underlying meaning or inherent prejudices. Ultimately, the text calls for a rehabilitation of reason as a faculty that integrates complex connections and context instead of discarding them for the sake of mere technical efficiency.
