Introduction
How do we best communicate complex philosophical ideas? We often draw on linguistics to explain the world around. What if we draw on even more powerful non-linguistic means to help us communicate our ideas?

Reason, in philosophy, the faculty or process of drawing logical inferences. The term “reason” is also used in several other, narrower senses. Reason is in opposition to sensation, perception, feeling, desire, as the faculty (the existence of which is denied by empiricists) by which fundamental truths are intuitively apprehended. These fundamental truths are the causes or “reasons” of all derivative facts.
