The myth of irrationality : the science of the mind from Plato to Star Trek

by John McCrone

This study examines the evolution of the human mind, exploring phenomena such as dreams, emotions, and creativity. It challenges the belief in irrational mental powers, arguing that such myths obstruct a scientific understanding of cognitive processes.
