How do we know that two contradictory statements cannot be true at the same time?
We say that such a thing is self-evident or it appeals to our reason, or logic.
The philosophical position that stresses reasoning, thought or logic as the central factor in human knowledge is called rationalism.
Thus rationalism is basically the position that we know what we have thought out; that the mind has the ability to discover knowledge by itself by comparing ideas, that is we know apriori
