Summary

This quote emphasizes the fundamental connection between nature and reason. It implies that anything that goes against the natural order of things is also against logical thinking.

The quote highlights the notion that reason is grounded in observing the patterns and laws of nature and that deviating from it leads to irrationality. It suggests that rationality is intrinsically tied to understanding and respecting the natural world.
