Description

Explore the intellectual debate between tradition and rationalism in this profound study from Lexington Books. As the twentieth century saw the rise and subsequent decline of rationalist dominance in politics and the arts, thinkers sought to diagnose the underlying theoretical causes of these shifts. This volume provides a deep comparison of leading twentieth-century critics who challenged the rationalist tide. Readers will find a detailed analysis of the ideas presented by influential figures such as F.A. Hayek, Michael Oakeshott, and Hans-Georg Gadamer. By examining the work of Aurel Kolnai, Alasdair MacIntyre, Michael Polanyi, and Gilbert Ryle, this book offers a comprehensive look at the philosophical responses to the failures of rationalism in the modern era. It is an essential resource for students and scholars of political theory and social sciences.
