From The Destruction Of Reason To The Rebirth Of The Soul

From Plato,in the history of western philosophy development, sensibility is obedient to rationality in the category of mind. As the two peaks of classical philosophy, Kant defined the scope of rationality to ensure the legitimacy of its supremacy and keep the fear of agnostic world. Hegel regarded rationality as flawless and highest wisdom that can be reached by logical reasoning. Therefore, Hegel established a systematic and perfect ideal world through rationality. However, in (post) modern philosophy,rational concept has undergone tremendous changes. Rationality is down from the altar.Under the guidance of passion, the trend of rationality is unknown. In addition,rationality defends sensibility, and they are not in conflict. Rationality is the goal of sensibility. Thus, Dostoevsky's works showed strong concerns on individual irrationality,which made the exploration of human beings enter a new stage. Facing various new difficulties, the author finally put hope on intangible humanity. He wanted to believe there is communication bridge between people. However, the possibility was completely denied in Kafka's concept: There is a huge gap between individual cognition and other's cognition. The relationship between people could merely be indifferent and lack of warmth. Loneliness is inevitable for the existence of human beings.Proust always had great passion to find a. way out in the mind of an individual.He eventually met alien in "time-present" and obtain happiness.
