Emozioni, affetti e sentimenti nel pensiero antico: il loro carattere “a-logico”

Translated title of the contribution: [Autom. eng. transl.] Emotions, affects and feelings in ancient thought: their "a-logical" character

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Both Plato and Aristotle distinguish different kinds not only of rationality, but of irrationality as well. The paper focusses on the milder form of irrationality, that can somehow interact with rationality. The scheme of such interaction follows archaic mathematical patterns, which suggest how rationality can relate to irrationality inside and outside us.
