 A system of creating meaning and establishing justification whose premises remain open to rational criticism. This system typically operates in intuitive metphoric ways. As a system of reason they share the common characteristic of their openess to rational scrutiny and criticism, and hence the implication that they have survived rational criticism to present and remain reliable. --JakeSapiens03.01.07

 Reason is a very sophisticated game of abstraction. The game pieces consists of bits of knowledge, variously known as propositions, statements or sentences. Some pieces describe the state of the world, e.g. "nine planets orbit the sun in our solar system". Some pieces describe the pieces used to describe the world (definitions are an example). Some pieces, called conditionals, describe the world as it could be. Some pieces called goals, describe the worlds as it should be.
