Arationality

Arationality is the state or characteristic of being arational, of being outside the domain of reason. The term is distinct from irrationality, which describes a state that goes against reason rather than beyond it. In this regard, that of going beyond reason, arationality is also contrary to positivism, the belief that reality can be understood rationally. Arationality is also identified with certain pre-modern modes of thinking, including magic and ritual.
