Rationality and the Literate Mind - Routledge Advances in Communication and Linguistic Theory
Harris, Roy, Jr. (University of Oxford, UK)
In this volume, Harris challenges the received mainstream opinion that reason is an intrinsic property of the human mind, and argues that the whole Western conception of rational thought, from Classical Greece down to modern symbolic logic, is a by-product of the way literacy developed in European cultures.
