As with the duality of the human condition as body/mind, logic and rational are defined as two types or
Foundation
and Authority Reasoning.
Foundation Reasoning means to reason from evidence, corroboration, validation, proof, substantiation, validation and
verification, while Authority Reasoning means to reason from authority with no foundation, evidence proof or validation necessary as God is rationalized from Authority Reasoning.
FOUNDATION REASONING
Foundation Reasoning is the creed of the Conservative Paradigm,
as truth is necessary for entities like a Whole, a body, or Government to function, by only true and accurate performance, or as a heart-beat cannot operate willy-nilly and must beat unerringly true. With group cooperation such as Government or the All, truth must prevail for otherwise people understanding they are lied-to will discontinue cooperation. Truth is consistency and stop lights for instance must be consistent and obeyance of stop-lights must also be consistent. Maintenance of infrastructure must be consistent as the operation of the body or the Government.
AUTHORITY REASONING
Authority Reasoning is associated with the Progressive Paradigm,
as the Part, the One, Capitalism and Monotheistic Religion. To reason from authority means because the authority dictates so, without any evidence, proof or substantiation necessary. The president is a Russian puppet because the CIA says so, trumpeted by the western corporate media for three years based, on the authority of the CIA without ever a shred of evidence. Authorities are dictators, specialist experts, religious texts, science where technology is too complicated for the layman to understand, or politicians, heads of organizations and specialized knowledge.
Authority Reasoning is necessary when the Part, One or Religion
have no evidence, or what they want is exclusive, and would be unfair and could not acquire the agreement of the many by logical reasoning based on evidence, and thus must cite some authority usually in the pocket of those authoritarians.
