The term reasonable is a qualifying adjective that can be applied to particular people, situations or acts. The idea of reasonable implies precisely the use of reason as the first action and that is why an act or a reasonable person will be those that are carried out in a manner logic, with use of reason. Many times, the position of reasonableness, that is, of the use of reason, leaves aside emotionality or the set of feelings that one can feel in specific circumstances.
The reason is one of the few characteristics that differentiate the human being from the rest of the living beings. The reason is nothing more than the use of the intelligence at a level abstract that allows man to understand phenomena or situations beyond his physical or somatic sensations. The reason is therefore opposed to the emotion, to sensation, to the instinct, to the compulsive.
This makes us see that if reason is opposed to the instinct or to the emotional, it will mean that it is based on a
understanding or logical way of acting that goes beyond immediacy. To be reasonable is to use reason, to get out of that space of sensations to try to understand abstractly what is happening.Normally, the term reasonable is used in situations where a person acts appropriately according to social parameters. For example, it is reasonable that if one person needs help, another will give it to them. It is reasonable that if one wants to get a good job he must train and prepare for it. It is reasonable that killing or harming a person is not a good thing. The lack of rationality makes people lose specifically what differentiates us from others. animals and that they regain their state of savagery or the impossibility of being abstracted from the environment that surrounds.
