[QUOTE="stevevw, post: 76494228, member: 342064"] If you take the meaning of rationale it says 1 : [B]an explanation of controlling principles of opinion, belief, practice, or phenomena[/B]. 2 : an underlying reason : basis. Then this means that a determination is made based on some reason or basis. So it is reasoned against some basis which will eliminate personal opinion (control opinions) based on the reason (basis) used. So yes I think it can as it limits personal opinion and relies of the facts of the matter. So if someone makes a claim based on their personal opinion, preference or feeling we can refer to the rationale as an independent determination that excludes subjective views. Its the same as when 2 people argue about a moral. Under subjective thinking people will give their personal views based on their personal perceptions and experiences which could be tainted and skewed. Sooner or later people will appeal to some rationale (basis) as to their moral position be it Human "Life" having intrinsic value, human wellbeing and flourishing, societal functioning and order, human co-operation, the Golden Rule. If you want to convince others or prove your moral position is right then you need an independnet measure otherwise it would just be a never ending cycle of exchanging differences of personal views with no real agreement or disagreement. Agreement is usually reached when people agree on the rationale for their position and not just their opinion. [/QUOTE]
