inIf one says that the laws of reason aren’t a learned human construct that serves as a tool to discern the Real but are the very laws create and put into motion this totality in which we dwell, then you have just succeeded in deifying reason. During the French Revolution they installed a goddess of Reason. This wasn’t merely a mockery of Christianity but a profoundly RELIGIOUS act in and of itself. They replaced Yahweh with Athena. They went back to their “old time religion”. Note to the reader : This note is just one of my ponderings and is not to be taken as statements of fact. Indeed probably ninety percent of my posts are just things that I find interesting, or on the rare occasion where I put out my own statements, I’m just thinking out loud and one shouldn’t assume that I have come to some sort conviction on a subject. Anything however that concerns my faith in Christ should be taken dead seriously because I’m not ashamed of the Gospel.

Funny enough I agree with this but the real question is life, nature, the very universe itself reasonable or is reason a human construct that serves as a coping mechanism.

in“is, in fact, a call to reason, again to undertake the most laborious of all tasks — that of self-examination — and to establish a tribunal, which may secure it in its well-grounded claims, while it pronounces against all baseless assumptions and pretensions, not in an arbitrary manner, but according to its own eternal and unchangeable laws. This tribunal is nothing less than the critical investigation of pure reason”

in“it finds itself compelled to have recourse to principles which transcend the region of experience, while they are regarded by common sense without distrust. It thus falls into confusion and contradictions, from which it conjectures the presence of latent errors, which, however, it is unable to discover, because the principles it employs, transcending the limits of experience, cannot be tested by that criterion . The arena of these endless contests is called Metaphysic”
