What Do You Mean By Rational Animal ?


I think before we start talking who deserved to be rational ? First we need to find out the proper definition of rationality, as I was searching about meaning of the Rationality I found that it has different specialized meanings in Philosophy, Economics, Sociology, Psychology and so on. Since I interest in philosophy I thought it would be better to share some philosopher theory and my opinion.



  According to Aristotle, humans are the rational animal. The borderline between rational and irrationality is fundamental to many aspects of human life including the law, mental health, and language interpretation. And my opinion is that we are a thinking center and thinking itself is a parts of reasoning. When do we think? whenever we try to find solutions for problems or before doing something we are tend to grasp the reasoning, since we are rational creature, sharing, arguing, discussing, working together are enough witness, to believe that we are the best creature ever! And yes we are a rational creature, the reason I am noting using "Rational Animal" Because it's huge different between HUMANS and ANIMALS, I respect both but HUMAN first! because we possess the same properties,
These are my opinion, Now I can say that overall we have two types of reasoning skill ( Direct and Indirect ). Direct which comes naturally, if you don't feels good than you leave that place, or if the water is too cold you can drink it right away! indirect is something new in other word something that challenge your thought or some situation that you have never encountered before. such as you face a large clean road and does not have any speed limit sign! Do you want to speed up? and it's totally new road for you? Or when you see someone asking for help, can help them?
