Man Is A Rational Animal

Man Is A Rational Animal

According to a commonplace field of philosophical, 

Aristotle defined human being as a rational animal.


This definition makes unique in nature of a human,

Rationality separates from all other animal and man.


Reading human history, Man is a rational animal,

It is said analysing things and circumstances all.


Russell in his essay , An Outline of Intellectual Rubbish: 

A Hilarious Catalogue of Organized and Individual Stupidity (1943). 


He said that he looked diligently for the evidence,

In favor of this statement, history and everywhere.


He did not have the good fortune to come across it, 

Any evidence in favour of this made statement.


He searched in many countries of three continents,

Saw the world plunging into madness, no rationality. 


He searched all throughout the great nations, 

And also formerly leaders of civilization.


He saw the cruelty, persecution, and superstition,

All increasing by leaps & bounds all over the nation.


Praise of rationality is held to be a mark of a human,

And old fogey regrettably surviving from age bygone. 


Wise man enjoys goods of which is plentiful supply, 

Intellectual mind finds abundant in every other way.


I tried to read about different philosophy in earth,

Found about the validity of the above statement.


Rational human being is always refers an individual,

Who makes decisions and takes his actions all.


Based on reason, logic, and also all the evidence,

Rather than preconceived notions, emotion and impulse.


A rational human strives to consider information,

Impartially & without bias, before forming views of own.


He carefully examines arguments, assumptions, 

On sound reasoning draws conclusions of own.


Open to new information and changes beliefs and behaviors,

Changes understanding when presented with evidence that challenges.


He must have a strong drive to continuously learn, 

Would understand, make the informed decision.


The concept of the rational human being is central,

Always to Scientific traditions and to many things, philosophical.


From ancient Greek thinkers like Socrates and Aristotle to modern fields.

Of course no individual is perfectly rational at all times,


But the pursuit of greater rationality is everywhere seen,

As an important part of the developments of human.
