Is there a better noun form of "unreasonable" than "unreasonableness?"
I simply can't bring myself to use unreasonableness, but can think of no synonym or alternate form with comparable meaning.
I'll restructure if necessary, but wonder if I'm missing a suitable alternative.
You could try contrariness, obduracy, or obstinacy.
Here are a few alternatives to "unreasonableness"
- inflexibility
- immovability
- intransigence
- intractability
- stubbornness
- recalcitrance
- willfulness
- contrariness
- doggedness
- single-mindedness
How about irrationality, or pigheadedness for that vernacular charm? Incorrigibility could also fit, as could idiocy, although I think those are deviating from "unreasonableness." Megalomania most likely doesn't work, but it's a wonderful word. :)
