"It is not rational to assume, without evidence,……" — Iain McGilchrist

"It is not rational to assume, without evidence, that rationality can disclose everything about the world, just because it can disclose some things. Our intuition in favour of rationality, where we are inclined to use it, is just that - an intuition. Reason is founded in intuition and ends in intuition, like a pair of massive bookends."

— Iain McGilchrist
