Philosophers such as Aristotle, Kant, and Mill dedicated a lot of their time in understanding reason and its role in day-to-day life. The reason is commonly understood as the power to think about using the human mind. People believe that it is the power to think that sets humans apart from other animals. While most people only take reason simply as how the mind works, philosophers have delved into understanding the common mechanism behind reason.
Some philosophers have associated reasoning with morality while many others dispute this relationship (McCloskey, 2015). For instance, Kant was opposed to the British empiricists who argued that reason and ethics were independent aspects. As the paper argues, various philosophers maintained different views regarding the concept of reason. However, in my opinion, the reason is a central pillar that informs what society considers ethical or immoral.
