culture

The book "Irrationality: History of the Dark Side of Logic" was recently published by the philosopher of science and professor of history at the University of Paris Justin Smith.

The book marks a historical course of rationality since the killing of philosopher Hepas in the fifth century BC until the election of Trump, pointing out that irrationality constitutes the bulk of human life, making the triumphs of logic temporary.

The book tells the story of the philosopher, writer and poet Atheni Hypeas, who was a follower of the Pythagorean school, which is at the same time fraternal.

"The world can not be built from numbers. If the world is based on numbers, it must be irrational," Hypeas wrote.
