2. Reason / A. Nature of Reason / 9. Limits of Reason

8594	People have had good reasons for thinking that the circle has been squared [Shoemaker]
	Full Idea: People have had good reasons for thinking that the circle has been squared.
	From: Sydney Shoemaker (Time Without Change [1969], p.54)
	A reaction: A lovely concise illustration of the limits of reason. We might distinguish 'rational to us' from 'rational in itself', with only what is true or real aspiring to the latter status. But the latter might be unknowable by us.
