Разум (разумность) — человеческое изобретение, а не дар от природы. (У меня на сайте есть полный текст «Открытого общества», если кому нужен перевод на русский).

Karl Popper

«Reason, like language, can be said to be a product of social life. A Robinson Crusoe (marooned in early childhood) might be clever enough to master many difficult situations; but he would invent neither language nor the art of argumentation. Admittedly, we often argue with ourselves; but we are accustomed to do so only because we have learned to argue with others, and because we have learned in this way that the argument counts, rather than the person arguing. (This last consideration cannot, of course, tip the scales when we argue with ourselves.) Thus, we can say that we owe our reason, like our language, to intercourse with other men.»

Karl Popper, 'The Open Society and Its Enemies'.
