Dinamiche della razionalità

The reason distinguish the men from the other animals: by the reason the men learned to splinter stones and to manufacture computers, is elaborated techniques to manipulate the nature and complex forms of language. In his history he convinced himself that the reason, which was capable to explicate and resolve every thing, was the only one capable to give sense to his existence. The men also convinced himself that the best way to reap rewards of own capacity of reason was to exploit every resource of the nature in order to get the highest profit. So he invented a logical and epistemological paradigm of the rationality, instrumental to production and profit, leaving out what not follows this logic. Therefore not only the ancient explications of the nature, the myths and the magic, was irrational but also the peasant culture was irrational, with his rhythms so different from the rhythms of the industrial production. On the contrary, the place of the bigger degradation of the man, the great factory, was considered the highest expression of rationality.
