Wolfendale, Peter - The Revenge of Reason

Neorationalism as a distinctive philosophical trajectory, exploring the outermost possibilities of Prometheanism, Inhumanism, and Enlightenment. What is the fate of Reason in the 21st Century? Today more than ever, in the face of disinformation, memetic plagues, and neuroactive media, if we are to resist the continual solicitation of our cognitive reflexes, alongside the unearned authority of endless self-appointed secular priests of rationality, then we have no choice but to mobilize Reason to continually dissect the responsibilities they shirk, and to embrace the future demands of thought. This volume collects interviews and writings on various philosophical figures and topics, addressing the deepest questions of Physis, Logos, and Ethos. Against those who would chain the fate of humanity to its animal nature, Wolfendale's work makes the case for unbinding our rationality from every petty naturalism and every fixed image of thought, heralding an inhuman destiny unleashed by the revenge of Reason.
