One ot the main original aims of philosophy was to give us guidance about how to live our lives.
The ancient Creeks typically assumed that a life led in accordance with reason, a rational life,
would also be the happiest or most fulfilling.
Ingmar
Persson
s
book resumes this project, which
has been largely neglected in contemporary philosophy. But his conclusions are very different;
by exploring the irrationality of our attitudes to time, our identity, and our responsibility,
Persson
shows that the aim of living rationally conflicts not only with the aim of leading the
most fulfilling life, but also with the moral aim of promoting the maximization and just
distribution ot fulfilment tor all.
Persson
also argues that neither the aim of living rationally
nor any of the fulfilment aims can be rejected as less rational than any other. We thus face
a dilemma of either having to enter a retreat of reason, insulated from everyday attitudes, or
making reason retreat
trom
its aspiration to be the sole controller of oar attitudes.
The Retreat of Reason explores three areas in which there is a conflict between the rational
lite and a life dedicated to
maximiration
of fulfilment.
Persson
contends that living rationally
requires us to give up, first, our temporal biases; secondly, our bias towards ourselves; and,
thirdly, our responsibility to the extent that it involves the notion of desert and desert-entailing
emotions. But giving up these attitudes is so overwhelmingly hard that the effort to do so not
only makes our own lives less fulfilling, but also obstructs our efficient pursuit of the moral
aim of promoting
я
maximum of justly distributed fulfilment.
Ingmar Persson
brings back to philosophy the ambition of ottering a broad vision of the human
condition. The Retreat of Reason challenges and disturbs some of our most fundamental ideas
about ourselves. |
