The specifity of antirationalist thought:Zhuangzi, Laozi, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Buber

Summary/Abstract: The author deals with thinkers as diverse as the classical Chinese Daoists Laozi and Zhuangzi and modern Western thinkers such as Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, and Buber. She argues that all of these philosophers are antirationalists. Antirationalism is importantly different from irrationalism, which proposes and endorses the subjective vision in a state of heightened emotion. It is also different from rationalism, because while not absolutely opposed to reason, it insists upon the limitations of reason. The author shows how antirationalists reject straightforward, discursive arguments as often inadequate and inappropriate and almost always incomplete. While seeing this group as sharing a common and important philosophical theme, this comparative study also show the similarities and differences between Laozi’s, Zhuangzi’s, Kierkegaard’s, Nietzsche’s and Bubers’s interpretation of reason, emotions, and will.
