The meaning of irrationality
Irrationality makes a person vulnerable, but he himself is not aware of his delusions.
The negative consequences of such thinking are manifold:
- the perception of the external material world is disrupted;
- no adaptability, flexibility;
- motivation to act decreases;
- fear of communicating with superior people develops, as well as an unreasonable fear of public reproach;
- efficiency in professional activities decreases;
- Anxiety and depression develop.
Note that it is generally useless to think about your emotions. Therefore, irrationality is a negative state in psychology.

Irrational
Film "Fountain"
The irrational does not fit into the human mind and is scary to it.
Film "The Sword in the Stone"
Love, as a bodily attraction, is irrational. There is no logic or meaning in it, especially if at least one of the lovers has no head.
Scientificity, as the rational, is opposed to the irrational. What it is? The irrational is not just something we cannot explain. If we cannot explain something simply because we did not have time to open a textbook and learn it, this is not about the irrational. Irrational is something that cannot be explained in principle, that no reasonable person can explain.
If a person admits that some things somehow don’t fit into his head, although they obviously exist, this is an admission of the irrational. “I wonder why the world was created so beautiful, what harmony is in every drop of water, the leaves rustle so amazingly... And all this was created by chance? “I can’t wrap my head around…”
But this is not enough. The irrational is not just something that is fundamentally inaccessible to the human mind. This is something that is beyond the control not only of our minds, but also of our will: something that interferes with our life, invades it, something that has weight and power in our world.
Types of irrational
The irrational is also the natural (bodily), which contradicts the rational. If the natural does not contradict the rational, but exists with it without tension or contradiction, such a natural is called natural, and not irrational.
The irrational is also an irrational picture of the world. This is all magical, shamanic and witchcraft, what children, women, mystics and esotericists tend to believe in.
An irrational picture of the world is a fairly common phenomenon. Cm.
The irrational is intuition and perception of what is happening in the mode of a living impression, directly, with wide open eyes and soul, without doubts and critical assessment.
If this is not a one-time event, but an attitude of consciousness or, moreover, a personal habit, then this is already irrationality as a personal characteristic and trait. Cm.
Where? In Vologda...
Irrational is unreasonable actions that a person performs in a seemingly conscious manner, although he does not get the desired result over and over again. This state of mind is described very clearly and intelligibly in the song “Vologda” based on the verses of Mikhail Lvovich Matusovsky, where the main content of the life of the hero of this song is the systematic repetition of the same action, which he has long learned that it does not bring any meaningful result. At the same time, the alternative - relatively speaking, effective - way to achieve the goal is well known to the hero. To move the situation forward, you need to at least come to Vologda, find a girl and propose to her. And the longer the hero avoids this only correct solution to the problem, the less chance he has of success: in Vologda, after all, time also moves on as usual. Perhaps the girl has long since moved from the address where the hero sends letters. Or this address was initially recorded incorrectly by him: after all, he never received an answer to his letters. Be that as it may, sooner or later a girl from Vologda will find herself a boyfriend, get married, give birth to children, then grow old and die. And the hero will continue to “personally” carry letters to her in the mail, with the feeling that he has done everything in his power, and faith in the “fate” that supposedly “awaits” him. Although in reality, that same fate has long been buried in the Kozitsyn cemetery in that same Vologda.
Irrational picture of the world
The irrational picture of the world is how irrationally minded people see the world: mystics, small children and often women. To achieve his goals, he can directly use shamanism, turn to prayers, signs and rituals for fine tuning, and take into account the possibility that the Universe, God or other Higher Powers will still decide in their own way. Cm.
Rational and irrational
The rational and the irrational are not separated from each other by an impenetrable wall. In a rational picture of the world, irrational things (for example, irrational numbers) may well exist, and rational procedures may use irrational means of influence, such as hypnosis, suggestion and emotional contagion. Cm.
Rational thinking: what is it?
The basis of rational consciousness is real facts for reflection and logically sound arguments for making decisions. They allow you to see things in their true light, explain incomprehensible phenomena and show the shortest path to your goal.
Traditionally, a rational way of thinking is associated with the exact sciences, but in everyday life people are forced to use it to build their career, save money for a major purchase, and plan a vacation.
Rational Personalities:
- sensibly assess the surrounding reality;
- set realistic goals for themselves;
- respond adequately to criticism;
- listen to others;
- support their conclusions with specific facts;
- are distinguished by prudence and pragmatism;
- soberly assess the possibilities – their own and others’.
The determination to think rationally is a positive thing from the point of view of a person working on his shortcomings.
People of a different type, who do not know how and do not want to make plans for life, sometimes find it difficult to achieve their goals, because they:
- do not think about the consequences;
- they are late everywhere;
- They do not know how to predict the course of events.
Guided by rational thoughts, a person does not commit spontaneous and rash actions and minimizes the risk of unpleasant surprises. It is this calm view of the situation that allows a person to gather himself at a critical moment, when passions and emotions are boiling around.
What it is?
Irrational thinking is based on feelings. Such thoughts appear as if out of nowhere. It seems to a person that he has suddenly “seen the light.” He often gets help in this from the outside, in particular when it comes to religious fans. In psychology, irrationality is considered one of the most dangerous types of thinking.
Often people who have it try to improve their lives by circumventing all the norms and rules. They do not recognize generally accepted postulates and ultimately become hostages of their own illusions. They have some special characteristics, we list them.
Excessive suspicion
Thoughts that initially resemble prophetic thoughts ultimately lead a person to a dead end. The guide there is obsessive ideas like:
- I know that he thinks badly of me;
- he knows that I speak badly of him;
- they think I'm evil;
- There are enemies all around, etc.
Summarizing everything
Such thoughts place non-existent and at the same time insurmountable barriers before a person. The following signals come from the head:
- I failed the task last time, which means I will never succeed;
- this teacher “knocks down” everyone in the exams, which means I won’t be able to pass the test for him;
- This girl refuses to date everyone, which means she’ll turn me away too.
Exaggerating the "magical" abilities of others
A person begins to consider himself an “open book” that anyone can look into. He is sure that:
- they see right through him;
- everyone thinks that he is not like everyone else;
- everyone notices his excitement;
- anyone can see his shortcomings.
All these “postulates” lead to the fact that a person finds himself in a vicious circle, from which he cannot and does not want to leave.
Methods of rational thinking
These methods are based on the use of logical techniques for processing information:
- Analysis is the mental division of a whole into its constituent elements, highlighting its properties, connections and other characteristics, determining its structure.
- Synthesis is the reunification of several elements or parts into a single integral structure. With the help of synthesis, a person mentally connects parts in new combinations, which allows him to establish connections between them and draw conclusions about their interaction.
- Comparison - establishing similarities and differences between objects or objects. With the help of comparison, a person identifies various properties of objects and objects, both qualitative and quantitative characteristics.
- Generalization is the mental unification of several objects according to some of the most significant characteristics.
- Abstraction (distraction) - highlighting the basic, essential properties of objects and distracting from unimportant details.
A wide variety of processes are carried out on the basis of logical ones. They are successfully used both in academic research and experiments, and in the field of simple everyday affairs.
