i think that it's his specific want. an animal wants generalities, food, water, shelter. a person wants those same things, but more specifically, cookes, coke, and a condo.
this is the main component in rational. if you want something, like an xbox, you rationalize a way to get it. the want is driving your rationale.
what do you think? |
Rather than ability to be rational, I believe it is our ability to consciously love.
