Myths of reason: vagueness, rationality, and the lure of logic
Atlantic Highlands, N.J.: Humanities Press (1995)
Abstract
Addresses the meaning of rationality. The author argues that common conceptions of this notion are founded upon dubious myths of reason; and that systematic approaches to rational understanding are inherently limited by denying the cognitive value of myth and metaphor.Links
