How to use "Rational" in context?
thinking
Philosophers have long debated the merits of rational thinking, with some arguing that it is the only method capable of unlocking the secrets of the universe, and others contending that it is nothing more than a tool that can be used to justify any illogical decision.
Despite its detractors, rational thinking has been shown to be a reliable method of problem solving, and can be incredibly effective when used alongside other methods. It can help us to understand and address challenging situations, and to make sound decisions based on available information.
