«Con razón y sin ella» is the philosophical essay by Henri Atlan, published by Tusquets Editores in paperback (150 pages, in Spanish).
Starting from a Talmudic anecdote, Atlan shows that there are several legitimate ways of being right: those of the physical sciences, those of life, and those of man, alongside mythical traditions. He criticizes the pretension of unifying everything into an ultimate reality and proposes accepting the multiplicity of the games of knowledge.
The subtitle is «Intercrítica de la Ciencia y del Mito»; it belongs to the Metatemas collection (no. 24) of Tusquets. The original French title is «À tort et à raison : Intercritique de la science et du mythe».
For those seeking an essay on the philosophy of science that dialogues with myth and mysticism.
Henri Atlan is a French biophysicist and philosopher.
