2. Reason Reason is the capacity for consciously making sense of things applying logic establishing and verifying facts changing or justifying practices institutions and beliefs - based on new or existing information.

3. Reason Reason or "reasoning" is associated with thinking, cognition, and intellect. Reason, like habit or intuition, is one of the ways by which thinking comes from one idea to a related idea. For example - rational beings understand themselves to think about cause and effect truth and falsehood what is good or bad.

4. Reason It is also closely identified with the ability to self-consciously change beliefs attitudes traditions institutions - therefore with the capacity for freedom and self-determination.

5. Types of reasoning Deductive reasoning A subdivision of Philosophy is Logic. Logic is the study of reasoning. Deduction is a form of reasoning in which a conclusion follows necessarily from the stated premises. From General to Specific.

6. Types of reasoning Inductive reasoning: Induction is a type of logical thinking that involves forming generalizations based on specific experience . By observations and facts – true or false. Example for analytical soft skill. Interact with people, social situations and ideas.

7. Difference Inductive reasoning contrasts strongly with deductive reasoning. Inductive reasoning used in law enforcement to narrow down suspects. Deductive reasoning used in science to reach a hypothesis.

8. Belief Belief is the state of mind in which a person thinks something to be the case with or without there being empirical evidence to prove that something is the case with factual certainty.

9. Belief Belief - mental representation of an attitude positively oriented towards the likelihood of something being true. In epistemology, philosophers use the term ‘belief’ to refer to personal attitudes associated with true or false ideas and concepts. ‘Belief’ does not require active introspection and circumspection.

10. Importance of Belief Beliefs are important because behavior is important and behavior depends on beliefs. Everything one does can be traced back to beliefs one holds about the world — everything from brushing teeth to career. Beliefs also help determine reactions to others' behavior — for example their refusal to brush their teeth or their own career choices.

11. Importance of Belief All this means that beliefs are not an entirely private matter . Every belief one tries to keep to oneself may influence actions enough to become a matter of legitimate concern of others.
