The French turned Notre Dame cathedral into the Temple of Reason in the 1793-1799 revolutionary period.

That didn’t work out, because rule by reason never does.

“That didn’t work out, because rule by reason never does.”

I understand what you are getting at: rule by reason ALONE doesn’t work - you aiso need wisdom and a moral compass.

But even though reason alone is insufficient, it is still essential.

Reason is a framework - a language - without which there is no structure or accountability.
