A 'raison d'etre' is a reason for being. In the word-by-word translation, the noun 'raison' means 'reason'. The preposition 'd'' is the shortened form of 'de' before a noun that begins with a non-aspirated vowel. And the verb 'etre' means 'to be'. Perhaps the most famous example of an individual agonizing over the reason for living, life, and being is Hamlet, in the play of the same name by William Shakespeare [baptized April 26, 1564-April 23, 1616].
A 'raison' is a reason. The word is a feminine noun in the singular. So its adjective must agree with it in gender and number. Likewise, its verb must agree in number and person.

Roughly- Reason is folly ( or foolishness)- But the strength of Reason is less strong than the folly. You really can"t translate it beyond that. One is reminded of the remarks attributed to Abe Lincoln- you can fool all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time- but not all of the people, all of the time ( one adds some politicians come close like .999 percent!) My guess the phrase has some political argumentive point.
