Method in madness (Method in madnes)

In the Enlightenment tradition, the faculty of reason was viewed as a defining characteristic of man, and irrationality was put in stark opposition to reason. This project goes beyond this traditional dualistic conception and aims to integrate irrationality in the framework of naturalized epistemology, which recognizes human reason as a biological faculty acquired over a long process of evolution.
