Reason with a small "r" is the logical use of thoughts: which is a mediate process; but with a capital "R" it is the intelligent use of the understanding, which is a direct immediate thing: intuition. Kant used it somewhat in this sense--but went only part of the way into a semi-agnosticism, semi-knowledge of the truth. So the term got fixed into its lesser meaning alone: the Kantian use of it is somewhat obsolete and best not used by laymen.
