Title: The Greeks and the Irrational (Sather Classical Lectures)
Description: "In this philosophy classic, first published in 1951, E. R. Dodds takes on the traditional view of Greek culture as a triumph of rationalism. Using the analytical tools of modern anthropology and psychology, Dodds asks, "Why should we attribute to the ancient Greeks an immunity from 'primitive' modes of thought which we do not find in any society open to our direct observation?""--BOOK JACKET.
