Walking the Tightrope of Reason: The Precarious Life of a Rational Animal
Fogelin, Robert (Professor of Philosophy and Sherman Fairchild Professor in the Humanities, Professor of Philosophy and Sherman Fairchild Professor in the Humanities, Dartmouth College)
Human beings are both supremely rational and deeply superstitious, capable of believing just about anything and of questioning just about everything. Indeed, just as our reason demands that we know the truth, our skepticism leads to doubts we can ever really do so. Reflecting upon the ancient Greek skeptics as well as such thinkers as Hume, Kant, Wittgenstein, Nietzsche, and Whitman, this book takes readers into-and through-some of philosophy's most troubling paradoxes.
