Rationality and Reasonableness in Communication

Abstract
We propose the necessity of reviewing concepts such as “reason”, “rationality” and “reasonableness”, in order to clarify the consequences that their marked polysemy has in communicative discourse.
That is why these terms are projected from their etymological meanings, designing a course that goes through reason as a universal paradigm of human thought, in order to resignify it as “reasonable reason”.
The postmodern tribes have made an effort to present deconstruction as a detotalizing strategy, inverting axiological tendencies in an attempt to consolidate the irrational as an alternative answer to the modern mandates.
In this way, readings of the world are structured in formally valid discourses, but, due to their superficiality or their fallacious character, they do not refer to the ontological density of a reality that remains immutable.
Looking at the communicative forms in our context, we transpose the rational categories and we try to identify their reasonableness.
