理智 (lǐ zhì) — (noun) reason, rationality; (adjective) rational, level-headed

Definition

理智 highlights the cool, level-headed use of reason to resist emotion — the adjective contrasts with 理性, which names the thinking faculty itself. Closest to 'rational' as an attitude, less about logical fairness than 合理.
