What is Reason? (Xavier Zubiri's Sentient Intelligence Episode 10)

"Now, reason has three moments. First is inquiry or searching. This means that reason has an inquisitive character. The second is in-depth intellection, which means its search is for a more thorough understanding of reality. The third is called intellective measuring. This means that reason not only sets up its own searches or problems, but it determines the conditions by which that search will be resolved. If reason compels me to figure out how many jelly beans are in a jar, it also dictates the conditions by which I’ll figure that out, which is counting the jelly beans. The most deep seeded of these measures by which we reason are called principles."
