'''Rationality''' as a term is related to the idea of reason, a word which following Webster's may be derived as much from older terms referring to [[thinking]] itself as from giving an account or an explanation. This lends the term a dual aspect. One aspect associates it with comprehension, intelligence, or inference, particularly when an inference is drawn in ordered ways (thus a [[syllogism]] is a rational argument in this sense). The other part associates rationality with explanation, understanding or justification, particularly if it provides a ground or a motive.  'Irrational', therefore, is defined as that which is not endowed with reason or understanding.
