Rationalism is a philosophical view that regards reason as the primary source of knowledge. Rationalists use logic and deduction to understand situations and determine what is right or wrong. In the 17th century, rationalism emerged with philosophers like Descartes who believed that everything could be explained through reason and logic alone, even going so far as to question the reliability of the senses. Descartes introduced formulas to understand life and argued that the senses can deceive us, using the example of how we perceive the size of the sun.

Leadership: a body without a head, a web without a spidermore like people
As usual, some of these slides will mean nothing if you're not hearing me narrate and ask questions along the way, but this was a Birkbeck College session about thinking of leadership as a collective, rather than individual concept. Bits of complexity, social media and self-organised networks stuff in there too... and Slideshare didn't like some of my fonts... c'est la vie!

Please reply to post in 300 words. You may agree or disagree with the post on which you are commenting. Did they present an objective viewpoint?
*Remember, when responding to others do not judge. Simply state your position, backed by the evidence you found.
This is what the person you are responding to is writing about===>
Three questions:
1) what are the most important differences between ‘everyday thinking’ and critical thinking?
2) Is critical thinking important at all (if it is indeed a thing)? Why? Why not?
3) In Europe, critical thinking is generally referred to as philosophy. Why? And what is philosophy in its broadest term and should we even care about it? Why? Why not?
The post that you are suppose to reply to==>
Everyday thinking “is the mental process, the act and the ability to produce thoughts (Celine, 2017).” We tend to think about everything for example, what are we going to have for dinner or what we want to wear. Now, critical thinking “it means that you are using reason and logic to come to a conclusion about an issue or decision you are tangling with (Sieck, n.d.).” With that said critical thinking not many can achieve or accomplish. Critical thinking is very important, one of the places we use critical thinking is when we are driving to scrutinize on the consequences that could happen. It is important to keep in mind that we use critical thinking not as frequent as everyday thinking, but we do use it. “European and American philosophers decided to approach the world with a rational eye, rejecting blind faith and questioning traditional authority (Stanford Encyclopedia, n.d.).” Philosophy “Philosophy is a way of thinking about certain subjects such as ethics, thought, existence, time, meaning and value… The aim is to deepen understanding. (The Philosophy Foundation, n.d.).” Personally, I think we should care for philosophy. Because with philosophy we can expand our understanding of the things happening around us and I also believe it will help us be better human beings in the long run. It will help us comprehend things like thoughts & existence or even time in a profounder form. I believe that the more we know about everything that surrounds us the more we will come to use our critical thinking skills to make assessments in any situation that we might come across at any given time. This is a great example on of what we think is and is not important, because many people believe that philosophy is a joke or that we do not need critical thinking when in reality both are a great starting point to understanding our past and our present and those around us.

A brief outline of a Rationalist vs Christian perspective on human nature
1.
2. •The philosophical view that regards reason as the chief
source and test of knowledge.
•A rationalist uses logic as the chief principle in
knowledge. This means that everything we learn and
we use reason in every situation above all else.
•Our reason also ultimately provides justification for our
morals and beliefs. Reason dictates how we see and
view certain situations and our opinion of right and
wrong toward that situation.

5. 17th Century
· In the years between
1601-1700, the rationalist view
was born. Beginning with
Descartes, it was the belief that
everything in the world can be
explained with logic and reason.
Descartes was a mathematical
genius and tried to apply
formulas for life. He also
introduced the idea of our
senses being figments of our
mind and that they can deceive
us. (http://rationalistview.blogspot.com)
6. “Descartes in one of his original works, Principles of
Philosophy [translated to English], believes that all the
senses deceive us. He used the example of our sight.
Stating that we see the setting sun as a roughly two-
inch wide object in the sky, but in fact, our reason tells
us that the sun is actually almost infinitely times larger
than we see it in the sky.” (http://rationalistview.blogspot.com)
