TESTIMONY, REASON AND RATIONALITY.

When  some statements and before we are believe that statements we have to collect testimony to believe that people and their statements. When we define Testimony means that it is the answer given by a person on a daily basis based on his/ her knowledge of the external environment or his/ her knowledge gain through reading books as well as any other knowledge gain through magazines or in any other way. Testimony is an evidence for proof something is true. But in analytic philosophy we collect testimony by using communication, understanding and believing the spoken or writing reports of others. According to that evidence support to statement proof.  


Philosophically testimony is collection of beliefs, thoughts, and any other knowledge. Testimony is epistemological and in philosophy epistemology is study of knowledge. According to that testimony is also kind of study of knowledge. For an example, when we go to the court we can see some people say,  what he saw about he murder or something like that. These people are called witnesses and their story is a testimony.

Another example for testimony is , we can see many of people share their religious thoughts via social media or whatever platform. They say about religious things and they believe its a god lesson. 




In philosophically, reason is a something or process of drawing logical inferences. The German philosopher said, " Reason is the power of synthesizing into unity". 
Reasons can contain beliefs, ideas, action, facts, event and thoughts etc. The reason justify the statements. 
Our Lord Buddha said " There is a reason for everything and everything happen for a reason". We can see colorful flowers in the our home garden. Are you think they are only for the beauty for the beauty of the environment?  No, They ae colorful to attract the animals like bees, butterflies for their pollination. This simple example shows everything has a reason.

We  can talk about rationality, it has a different meaning in many area. Rationality simple describe as a reasons that we want to believe an others believes. It is mainly based on human understanding. For that humans have excellent understanding ability than other animals. Because humans have powerful and complex brain for that. Human brain can understand things, learn, reasoning, make new concepts and etc. In rationality every statements contain hypothesis. These hypothesis are used to prove statements.

A conditional statement is contain more than one individual statement with connected by 'IF' and 'THEN'. Conditional statements are either true conditionals or false conditionals. That contain antecedent, consequent and conclusion statements.

 

In biconditional statements antecedent(P1) and consequent(P2) both are true or false the conclusion(P3) is true. But the antecedent is true and consequent is false the final conclusion is false and the antecedent is false and consequent is true the final conclusion is false.
