Rezensionen

"Irrationality is unique among recent paeans to Enlightenment and liberalism in marrying a resolute defence of reason with a recognition of how futile such defences tend to be. As Smith expertly reveals, wherever one looks in the history of Western philosophy, rationality is haunted and teased by its other."---William Davies, London Review of Books
