"Only by accepting that Reason is "Meaningful" can one then accept the construct of Reason which is Science. This begs the question of what gives Reason "Meaning"."

It's actually a pretty tight little circular reasoning exercise, but the naturalists will go round-and-round defending it (pun intended). ;-)

Circular Logic is seen everywhere, and is mostly subconscious.
It is one of my personal missions to get people to see their assumptions,
and subsequently at least get them to recognize
that they are on intellectual thin ice.
