Highlighting the importance of freedom and creativity at the heart of reason (\u003ci\u003eVernunft\u003c\/i\u003e), Daniel Adsett analyzes examples of delusional thought through a Jaspersian lens. He shows that irrationality arises when we hold to certain attitudes with an incorrigible conviction and refuse to genuinely consider the possibility that we might need to revise or change our beliefs. In presenting these arguments, Adsett offers a novel contribution to contemporary debates about the character of reason while rehabilitating an often neglected aspect of Jaspers' thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel Adsett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1666934283\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781666934281\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lexington Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Daniel Adsett","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46545908596991,"sku":"9781666934281","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bcb19186-f8c1-4dff-8dcc-e2bf9ff2190d.jpg?v=1738183666","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/karl-jaspers-theory-of-irrationality-daniel-adsett-9781666934281","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
