Reply to comment by IAI_Admin in Reason and emotion are deeply connected. Understanding the interplay between them can help us make better sense of the world but eliminates the promise of objective rationality. by IAI_Admin

Seems more like a discussion on terminology.

Good reasoning leans away from emotion toward logic. Objective rationality is when all reasonable opinions are the same because of the lack of emotion employed.

This is what most philosophical debates usually boil down to, especially if heated

What does logic ultimately evidence? Induction is not really possible, only as a sociological study of existing judgments. There was no such a promise of objective reasoning in the first place.

I think objective reality would rely on deduction, not induction.

I perhaps agree though that objective reality as perfect reasoning cannot exist.

You need induction to make up concepts by giving them definitions: raven has features x. Deduction is the surface level comprehension: ”that is a raven because it has features x” when a data base has been established and concepts agrees upon.

But on the cartesian level you need water proof deduction to go forward and begin inference.

But induction can just make conceptions, observations and data bases of the observable objects whether they exist outside some alleged virtual reality for example. It is after all the reality where at least i’m personally forced to live in.
