From the Crisis of Rationality to the Poetics of Unpredictability

Meer over het boek

The book explores the crisis of rationality, tracing its evolution since the 17th century and revealing its failure to embody the ideals it was meant to uphold. It critiques rationality as a tool for manipulation, used by a select few to exert control under the guise of progress and democracy. Through the lens of postmodern French novelists, the author deconstructs these paradoxes, aiming to uncover truths about humility and the interconnectedness of global cultures, ultimately challenging the prevailing narratives surrounding rationality.
