BUSI 1010U Chapter 2: THINK [Crit. Think & Ethics, BUSI1010] - Chapter 2 Notes
Document Summary
Reason - the process of supporting a claim or conclusion on the basis of evi dence. It involves both the disciplined use of intelligence and the application of rules for problem solving. Logic - reasoning is usually presented in the form of carefully laid out arg uments in which a conclusion is supported by other propositions known as premise s, which provide reason or evidence for the conclusion. According to aquinas, rationality is the divine spark in humans. Darwin rejected the anthropocentric assumption that humans are a creation of the divine and claimed that reason evolved as a part of the adaptation of our b ehavior and that of other animals in the struggle for survival. It is now accepted amongst the scientific community that many animals are ca pable of reason and do not act solely on unlearnt instinct.
