Synopsis
From sex and music to religion and politics, a history of irrationality and the ways in which it has always been with us―and always will be
In this sweeping account of irrationality from antiquity to the rise of Twitter mobs and the election of Donald Trump, Justin Smith argues that irrationality makes up the greater part of human life and history. Ranging across philosophy, politics, and current events, he shows that, throughout history, every triumph of reason has been temporary and reversible, and that rational schemes often result in their polar opposite. Illuminating unreason at a moment when the world appears to have gone mad again, Irrationality is timely, provocative, and fascinating.

Condition: Very Good. : En este fascinante libro, Justin Smith explora la historia de la irracionalidad desde la antigüedad hasta la era moderna, examinando cómo ha influido en la política, la religión, el arte y la ciencia. Smith argumenta que la irracionalidad es una parte fundamental de la experiencia humana y que ha desempeñado un papel importante en la configuración de la historia. A través de un análisis profundo y accesible, el autor nos invita a reflexionar sobre la naturaleza de la razón y la sinrazón en nuestras vidas y en el mundo que nos rodea.Desde el sexo y la música hasta la religión y la política, este libro ofrece una visión completa de la irracionalidad y las formas en que siempre ha estado con nosotros, y siempre lo estará. Smith muestra que, a lo largo de la historia, cada triunfo de la razón ha sido temporal y reversible, y que los esquemas racionales a menudo resultan en su polo opuesto.
