Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Challenging the conventional view of reason as an inherent human trait, the author explores how the Western understanding of rational thought has evolved as a result of literacy's development in European cultures. By tracing this evolution from Classical Greece to modern symbolic logic, the book presents a thought-provoking analysis of the interplay between literacy and rationality, suggesting that our conception of reason is deeply influenced by cultural factors rather than being a universal aspect of human cognition.
