Reason brings boundless splendor and glory to mankind. While it is continuously elevated and promoted it exposes its limitations and frustrations. The multiple conceptions of reason connotations have led to long-term separation and imbalance to reason itself.Both rationalism and irrationalism emphasize irrational being and stipulation. Rationalism maintains that reason unconditionally holds the dominating position and unreason is unconditionally subordinative. Irrationalism claims that unreason is the fundamental being of man. Life and death, attack and freedom, emotion and will power are core elements of unreason. The intrinsic theoretical reason and moral reason inside reason, the life and death and attack and freedom inside unreason are contradictory while the antithesis between life and spirit is original antithesis between reason and unreason.Traditional philosophy theoretically brings forth the ancient Greek forthright dialectical identity and modern philosophical dialectical unity. In actuality, the reasonable unreason assumes various unifying paths and modes of reason-dominating model, unreason dominating model, alternatively dominating model and mixed model. Marx's viewpoint of complete man and all-round man is designated at the unity of reason and unreason. Marx's perspective of labor practice is the path to the unity of reason and unreason. And Marx's dialectics is the fundamental methodology of reason and unreason.
