Description

According the Greek mythology, the rationality was represented by Apollo, which meant the supreme perfection and the astonishing symmetry. In this sense, the author always proposes hisproblems in a disconcertingly original way: " Why exactly should we want to act and believe rationally ? ... Why should we formulate principles of action and try to stick to them ? " As you know, the further discussion of these interesting issues would lead us to establish a large exchange of ideas. "The man is conservator by own nature, but when this tendency weakens, the revolutions tend to preserve it" Ernesto Sabato
