Synopsis

This book analyzes the concept of human irrationality throughout history, exploring its manifestations in religion, economics, social life, and the law. The author challenges conventional understandings of rationality and morality, arguing that human behavior is often driven by unconscious psychological forces rather than by reason. Drawing on a wealth of historical and contemporary examples, the book offers a nuanced examination of the complex and often contradictory nature of human thought and action. It sheds light on how our irrational impulses can both hinder and facilitate progress, leading to both great triumphs and devastating failures. Ultimately, the book invites readers to reconsider their assumptions about human rationality and to approach decision-making with a greater awareness of the irrational forces that shape our choices.
