What does this sentence mean? Honest introspection has it that few if any pieces of human behaviour may really be said to be the result of totally detached ratiocination, in terms of the objectively determined interests and possibilities concerned.

If our feelings,thoughts and ideas are examined in a moral and fair way, we will find out that our behavior is rarely build on any logical reasoning when faced with the different situations in life, that offer us possibilities and arouse our interests. We don't depend on our reason and rationality in taking decisions, in judging people and circumstances but are rather driven by impulses and irrational thinking.

Ok. I will have a go at this. When I was young I used to love confusing people by using words I suspected they wouldn't understand, so think I can "translate" it into ordinary English for you: When we actually think about how we behave and act and are honest with ourselves, almost none of what we do is based wholly on logic or reason. We are not objective or rational. We cannot "step outside of ourselves" and see what is the best course of action under the circumstances and the best thing to do which would benefit the most people Is that a bit clearer now? What you have quoted, if it is a quote, would be extremely difficult for most native speakers to understand. Another way of talking it would be to look up each difficult word like ratiocination and look them up, but I think my answer is more or less what is meant. Are you a philosophy student?

Whoa! Sounds like it's lifted from some technical manual on reasoning. To lay person, all this is gibberish. I don't understand what it is trying to say. It would be like I am writing about bTrees, red and black trees, tree decoration, abortion, time slicing, tasking, and object elaboration here on ITALKI, no one except those in software would understand!

Please supply more details as to where this quote is from. You have just taken it out of context.

In essence, humans can rarely if ever be 100% objective when reasoning.
