Volume I Counter-Rational Reason in the Eighteenth Century : University of Pennsylvania Press Anniversary Collection : 9780812233070 : 0812233077 : 29 Dec 1995 : The first volume of a trilogy about "aberrant Reason and the cognitive fault lines that expose the discontinuities underlying empirical reality, fault lines that are embedded in the discourses of literature, art, social analysis, biology, and philosophy." (Overture to Discontinuity). Minerva, as the perfect weaver of tapestries, is emblematic of the of the uninterrupted thread of wisdom pursued by the Enlightenment, while Goya is emblematic of irrationality, as in his Capricho 43, with its famous inscription: "The Sleep/Dream of Reason Produces Monsters."
