Quotes: Rationality.

Rationality 474 "Whenever the rational male intellect asserts itself [at the expense of intuition]…[it results in] an immediate increase in wars, crime, mental ill-health and physical excess." Robert Graves. “The Case for Xanthippe [Plato’s shrewish wife].” 1960. Gross, ed. Essays.


Rationality 366 "Social rationality presupposes individual rationality, and this, in turn, depends on…continuity, order and regularity in the environment." Toffler, Future Shock.


Rationality vs. intuition 478 "But humane, creative thought, which depends on intuition, withers under the abstract rule of…reason." Robert Graves. “The Case for Xanthippe [Plato’s shrewish wife].” 1960. Gross, ed. Essays.


Comment: Intuition is creative; rationality is abstract. RayS.
